In this episode of the People Profit Podcast, Amy Mosher Berry, CEO of Visions Internships, joins us for a candid, high-energy conversation on what today’s emerging professionals actually need—and how leaders can finally meet them there.
We talk about building internship programs that work (for both sides), bridging generational divides, and leading with values like kindness, feedback, and trust. Amy also shares powerful stories about growing up between worlds, launching her business during a pandemic, and navigating deep personal loss—all while staying rooted in purpose.
