What do you get when a childhood CEO dream, a boring date night, and a refusal to settle for burnout collide? You get Mandy Balak’s playbook for building brands, leading communities, and living life on purpose.

In this episode, Mandy—entrepreneur, coach, and President of The Gathering—shares how she turned a last-minute class project into a media company, why her monthly Integration Day is non-negotiable, and what it really takes to build a legacy without losing yourself in the hustle.

We talk ambition, alignment, burnout, bold decisions—and why leadership without presence just isn’t it anymore. Whether you’re running a business or running on fumes, this one’s for you.
