Darren Halbig is, at his core, an artist. He’s a designer by trade, and a massively creative individual. When he stepped into a leadership role at Element Three, he reached a boiling point—he had to give up design in order to prioritize leading his 25-person team.

So..was it worth it?

In this candid conversation, Joe and Reid connect the dots between Darren’s parents fostering 70 to 100 children and Darren fostering growth in his colleagues. Finally, they contrast Darren and Tiffany Sauder’s perspectives on growth, from our previous episode, and follow a new lede for our next conversation..

What does it take to foster growth in people and business? Or maybe the better question..is who?

Let’s start our investigation inside of the Element Three walls with CEO and founder of Element Three and host of her own podcast, Scared Confident. Tiffany is a 20-year vet of the marketing industry and leader of an award-winning business.

In this episode, Joe helps Tiffany dive deep into the self-doubts that plagued her early career and the personal and professional motivations that guide her today. She explains why she isn’t afraid to fail and how empowering colleagues keeps her evolving as a leader. And, Joe helps Tiffany make an insightful discovery about her own personal “flywheel” of growth-which inspires Joe and Reid to take the investigation in a new direction.
