Rock Star Millennials Podcast

As we launch the 100th podcast it seems appropriate to share one of my greatest leadership lessons learned: the Legacy is in the Learning. When you invest in others by learning about them, you engage them and at the same time empower them to invest in others and in that moment…the legacy begins.

When Samantha Dong took a break from the financial world to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, she had no idea her journey would lead her to new heights as a global shoe designer -one who works with a podiatrist to create women’s shoes that are beautiful… and comfortable.

When Caitlin, Brittney & Hannah came together as friends from 3 different careers they had one vision: creating a space where people could share joy and create memories.

Since Varinka Ensminger liked to drive fast cars, shoot guns, tackle bad guys and protect victims, she started her career as a police officer, before becoming a detective & Special Operations Command Leader.

If you were raised in Italy, had parents from Bangladesh and had a heart for women in South Africa, where would you begin? If you’re Urmi Hossain you bloom where you’re planted—Quebec, Canada. Although she works her 9-5 job in the financial industry, Urmi’s most important work happens from 5-9 when she mentors, blogs and leads workshops to empower women around the world.
