Milestones & Meaning: Lessons from 50 Conversations on Leadership
Behind every episode of The Leadership Lounge is a deeper reason for showing up. Hitting the 50-episode mark felt like the right time to pause and reflect—not just on the podcast, but on this leadership thing. Every leadership journey starts somewhere—but what keeps it going? In this episode, I share three key reflections that have shaped both the podcast and my own leadership: getting clear on your why, showing up with persistence (especially on the tough days), and staying adaptable as things around you change.
