In this episode of The Energized Leader Podcast, Desi Payne sits down with Logan Aguirre, owner of 417 (Four One Seven), a media and lifestyle brand based in Springfield, Missouri that celebrates community, connection, and experiences across the Ozarks.
Logan shares what it’s like to lead a family business, buy it from your parents, and grow into leadership through trial by fire, including the lesson she’d redo if she could, which is more listening. She opens up about hitting an energetic wall as an entrepreneur, when you’re the owner and you can’t just quit, and how she began rebuilding her spark through radical accountability, brave decisions, and clearer vision.
You’ll hear practical strategies for leaders who can’t take a month off, like Quarterly Clarity Breaks (even 24 hours) to unplug, reflect, and reset your leadership energy. Logan also shares what an energized workplace culture looks like, including vision plus input plus trust, strong communication, and empowering people to operate at their highest level.
If you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or overloaded, this conversation will help you re-energize your leadership, create capacity, and lead with intentionality, starting with how you show up every day.
