Last week, I wrote about the importance of building your network.

That’s why, every Wednesday, I will introduce you to a business leader who works in HR, technology, finance, or employment law so you can continue connecting with, learning about, and growing from the best.

I’m opening up my network so it can become yours. Hopefully, you’ll find this valuable. I’ve got you covered whether you’re looking for motivation or for someone who thinks differently about the world of work.

This week, it’s my honor to introduce you to Kristy McCann Flynn. She was on my podcast in 2022 and inspires me daily.
