Hosted by Lindsay White, a people & culture strategist, leadership coach, speaker and best-selling author, this show dives deep into the unfiltered realities of growing and leading a successful business.

If you’ve ever wondered how to scale without losing yourself in the process, how to build a high-performing team without the hiring headaches, or how to stay connected to your vision when the pressure is on—this is the show for you.
So, if you’re ready to unplug from the noise, the self-doubt, and the unrealistic highlight reels, hit subscribe and let’s get real about what it actually takes to grow and lead with confidence.
