The wait is over—Tailwind Talks is back and better than ever! After a long hiatus, we’re thrilled to kick off Season 2 with an exciting new set, a fresh lineup of episodes, and even more great conversations.

To launch the season, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Brandon Smith, sits down with Krystal Pierce, Vice President of Investor Relations & General Counsel, for an episode you won’t want to miss.

Krystal’s career has taken some unexpected turns—from a childhood on an Illinois farm to dreams of working for the FBI, to law school, and eventually landing a role at Tailwind. Along the way, she’s navigated high-stakes legal work, built strong investor relationships, and made some bold career moves that shaped her path. How did she end up here? What key moments changed her course? And what lessons has she learned along the way? Tune in to hear her fascinating journey, insights on leadership, and maybe even a few surprising stories. Plus, Brandon and Krystal put their honesty to the test in a fun round of Never Have I Ever!
