Last week we introduced a series of blogs featuring my mother, Kathlyn Lindberg - sharing her perspective and the kind of wisdom that only comes from a life well lived. Well, this week you get to hear another episode with my mom talking about her professional life, her grit, and her take on leadership. I hope you enjoy watching this episode as much as I enjoyed making it. Cheers, friends.

Over the next few weeks, we’re doing something a little different. From time to time, we invite special guests to share their perspective and the kind of wisdom that only comes from a life well lived. This time is no exception. You’ll be hearing from my mom, Kathlyn Lindberg, as she shares some of the valuable lessons she’s learned along the way. This week, she reflects on how the values she was taught helped shape the person she is today. Enjoy.

Do your people know you love them? They should. Your team needs to know you’ve got their back—that you genuinely care about them. And yes… it’s okay to actually say it . When you make that a regular part of how you lead, it doesn’t go unnoticed. People aren’t just cogs in a machine—they matter. And they deserve to be valued… and loved.
