Feeling the Fire of Leadership

I sat down with Mycal Anders on the Alignment First Podcast to talk about how grief, my time in the Marine Corps, and a professional failure shaped the way I design events now. We got into moving from a grief-avoidant workaholic to someone who actually leads with presence.

We also talked about building Hana from three hundred dollars and one contact in Arizona, and why the events people remember come from intentional design choices, not big budgets.
