In this episode of Leading in the Dark, Nick Akers sits down with Leslie K. Gill, President & CEO of Rung for Women, a career accelerator helping women transition into higher-wage industries where they’ve historically been underrepresented. Leslie shares the journey of building Rung from the ground up, her philosophy of collaboration, and how incremental opportunities can transform not just lives but entire communities. This powerful conversation explores leadership, breaking generational cycles of poverty, and why focusing on the "middle" can create lasting change.
