Hi Vaulted Viewer,  

It’s time for my next podcast episode! This week features my close friend and renowned leadership expert, Stacey McKibbin, as we dive deep into her remarkable journey from a Midwestern girl to a powerhouse entrepreneur and leadership coach. 

Stacey’s story is a real testament to the power of taking risks and embracing the entrepreneurial spirit. She transitioned from a stable job in a large organization to a startup environment, where she then discovered her passion for entrepreneurship. This shift not only ignited her career but also taught her valuable lessons about adaptability and resourcefulness.  

Another insight that came out of our conversation was Stacey's emphasis on the need for leaders to communicate their vision effectively throughout their organizations. She told me that when you ensure every team member understands how their role contributes to the larger mission, leaders can foster a sense of ownership and motivation.  

This was such a fun interview. Stacey’s journey is a masterclass in entrepreneurship, leadership, and adaptability. So, if you’re looking to grow, lead, or inspire, I think you’ll find a lot of value in this conversation!

👉 Listen now and find out how you can implement these strategies in your own life and business! 

Stacey and I enjoyed a whiskey fit for the stage!

Midwinter Night’s Dram isn’t just a name—it’s an experience. This limited-edition rye from High West Distillery is finished in French oak and port barrels, creating a rich, layered profile that’s perfect for fireside sipping.

Expect bold notes of dark cherry, fig, cinnamon, and caramelized brown sugar, with a long, warming finish of nutmeg, oak, and a touch of red wine tannins.

I guess you could say a dram like this deserves a standing ovation!

As always, I thank you for being part of the Vaulted Views community. See you next week!

Cheers!
