Join hosts Jamie McInally and Andrea Coughtry as they sit down with Tim Rist founder Dore, a true trailblazer whose life exemplifies the mantra “claim it till you make it.” An Oregon native with a knack for defying expectations, Tim began his construction career at age 12—building homes with his uncle—and launched a million-dollar painting business while still studying communications at Oregon State University. By 19, he had not only graduated college but also earned the distinction of becoming the youngest principal broker in Oregon, thanks to his relentless drive and visionary approach.


In this candid conversation, Tim shares how a pivotal job injury led him to pivot into real estate, where he quickly made his mark by doubling his business year after year and closing hundreds of transactions—all without sacrificing top-notch customer service. Specializing in luxury homes, farm properties, and complex commercial deals, Tim’s versatile career spans sales, construction and brokerage management, property development, and even life coaching. Beyond business, his magnetic energy inspires teams to transform challenges into opportunities, turning former minimum-wage employees into six-figure earners.


Tim’s passion extends well beyond the boardroom. Whether mountain climbing, surfing, or spending quality time with his daughter Maisy, he embraces life with the same intensity he brings to his work. His commitment to abundant living, generational wealth, and unforgettable experiences shines through in every aspect of his journey—from his nonprofit initiatives to his leadership of the Rivendell Collective.


Tune in for an episode packed with insights on resilience, innovation, and the power of claiming your vision until you make it a reality.
