If..."What have I done with my lifeā€”I want to make a difference" has crossed your mind, have a listen to Episode 99. Tracy Smith, President & CEO of Make-A-Wish Alabama, shares her journey to being known as a "cape-less superhero."

The epiphany of "You can work for an organization with a mission" forever changed her trajectory. Tracy is upfront about "bad boss" experiences with people leading through their insecurities and egos teaching her how NOT to lead, and those with "great leaders" who inspired how she empowers others in her own leadership. Hear her thoughts on going with best case scenarios for maximum freedom and not creating policies based on worst case scenarios. Tune in for heart-warming and inspiring thoughts and learn how to navigate work while being invaluable and true to yourself.
