What happens when an entrepreneur transitions back into the corporate world—but on their own terms? This week, Mandy Balak, newly appointed President of The Gathering, joins me to share her journey from business owner to leading one of the most renowned marketing events in North America. We dive into what it means to shift identities, embrace new leadership roles, and navigate the tension between ambition and sustainability.

In this episode, Mandy shares how she went from attending The Gathering as an eager entrepreneur to now standing at the helm of the organization. We explore the power of community-driven marketing, the hidden challenges of leadership, and the importance of balancing high performance with personal well-being.

If you’ve ever struggled with redefining your career path or wondered how to lead with both heart and strategy, this conversation is filled with raw insights and transformative lessons you won’t want to miss.
