In this deeply personal and empowering episode, host Brin’na Rollins-Williams shares an unexpected and emotional moment sparked by a simple gift from her mom—a ring engraved with the words “Built Different.” What starts as a story about a surprise package quickly becomes a heartfelt exploration of what it truly means to lead authentically and courageously in a world that often rewards conformity.

Brin’na unpacks four bold, reflective questions that define built different leadership—questions that challenge comfort zones, encourage critical thinking, and call us back to self-care and truth-telling. She reminds us that being “built different” isn’t about being better—it’s about being unapologetically you.

With vulnerability, humor (and a few Friends references), this episode invites listeners to embrace their unique path, lead with clarity and courage, and show up as their most honest selves—because the world needs your version of leadership.
