Leadership isn’t always clean and polished—it’s often messy, unpredictable, and full of tough calls. In this episode of Business Per Usual, I sit down with Ashley Vorhees, Executive Director of CASA of Kern County in Bakersfield, California, to talk about what it really looks like to lead through adversity.

Ashley opens up about her path to her first executive director role and the lessons she's learned navigating the highs and lows of leadership. From having hard conversations to rallying a team during challenging seasons, Ashley shares honest, practical strategies that every leader can learn from.

If you’re leading a team—or hope to one day—this episode is a must-listen.
