Evoke Greatness Podcast

Send us a textI had the privilege of being on Pete Durand's podcast, Eating Crow, right after making the leap to leave the corporate world and jump in entrepreneurship. Take a listen as I am on the other side of the microphone this time!Sonnie Linebarger is intimidating......in a subtle "I eat nails for breakfast" sort of way.I've been following Sonnie for some time and when she agreed to be on the show I had an idea of where I wanted to take the episode...I was wrong.Sonnie is complex - wife, mother, seasoned and successful business executive.She's also a life-long learner.This really stayed with me during the episode - she's obsessed with, well, evoking greatness - first in herself, then others.She's registered nurse (in a PICU none-the-less, I've seen that first hand...wow) and spent years leading a hospice and palliative care organization.That's next-level compassion.Sonnie just left her corporate gig and is now out on her own, evoking leadership greatness.Sonnie is one of the sharpest people I've interviewed (that's a high bar).She's also a supermom and now an entrepreneur.Stay tuned.Make sure to go check out Pete's podcast, if you haven't yet: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/eating-crow/id1525092497Also some really cool Greatness Gear is now available in the store on my website.  Grab a hoodie or t-shirt and tag me if you put it up on social media.Advertisements:Support for this episode is brought to you by MANSCAPED, the best in personal grooming.
