What happens when a creative CEO refuses to play by the old rules of business? In this raw and revelatory episode of Don't Waste the Chaos, host Kerri Roberts sits down with Kristin Graham Brown, founder and CEO of Hoot Design Company, to talk about building a values-driven agency from the inside out. From offering unheard-of 12-week paid maternity leave to flipping gender roles at home, Kristin is boldly rewriting what it means to lead with both a backbone and a heart.

If you're a founder, female entrepreneur, HR leader, or anyone craving a more human approach to work, this one’s for you.

Tune in to hear: 

• Why Kristin offers 12 weeks of paid maternity leave (and how she actually makes it work)
• How “on-brand benefits” can shape employee loyalty and retention
• The impact of flipping traditional gender roles in her marriage and leadership
• Her strategic risk moves including buying and building out a custom agency HQ
• Why AI and personal branding must coexist in today’s marketplace

This episode is a masterclass in doing business differently and doing it well.
