What Happens When You’ve Outgrown Your Role?

In this episode, I sit down with Ryan Holm from Helzberg Diamonds, and we get right into the real tension many retail leaders feel but rarely talk about — the moment you know you’re ready for more, even if you haven’t said it out loud yet.

Ryan’s journey from Dunkin’ Donuts to leading innovation in a Berkshire Hathaway company is filled with the kind of insights leaders need right now.

In this conversation we cover:

• How to know when the spark is fading
• Why targeted upskilling outperforms “learn everything” development
• The advantage of speaking both store and HQ fluently
• How to approach AI with a practical mindset
• How to evaluate whether you’re truly ready for the next step
  
  

This episode gives leaders a clearer view of where they stand today and what they may need to consider for tomorrow.

If you’re in a season of transition, this one will give you something real to think about.
