A Geek Leader Podcast - inspiring technical and creative leaders around the world AGL 222: Leadership Spark with Angie Morgan
About Angie
Angie learned how to lead during her time as a United States Marine. When she transitioned to the private sector, what surprised her was how the term “leadership” was being used. Whereas in the Marines, leadership was a verb – everyone aspired to lead. In her new world, “leadership” was a noun and only an expectation for managers. This inspired her to write her first book on leadership – “Leading from the Front” – as well as start her own business, Lead Star. She’s since written another book, SPARK, which became a NY Times Best Seller.
Through Lead Star, Angie does the work she loves. She and her team design programs for professionals around the world that help them understand how they can express leadership in their work environments and in their lives. Angie also co-leads the Lead Star Network, a program exclusively for high-performing women leaders that combines coaching, distant learning, and the opportunity for women to build a grad-school quality network.

I’ve been using A2 Hosting for several years. They offer state of the art SSD hosting for all of their plans. Their sites are super fast and easy to setup. I rarely need support, but when I was migrating my sites to a larger plan I used their support services and they were phenomenal. I highly recommend A2 hosting for all of your hosting needs. And I also recommend everyone to have a personal website. If you’re in technology and looking for a job and don’t have your own website, I probably wouldn’t hire you. Just sayin’.
