Looking forward to a great week at .

This week I’m here with my Nashville team, and some special people from Nevada who had a big impact on my career and leadership journey.

Welcome to the team! We had a great time. This group had great questions, and I loved their enthusiasm and personality. Best of luck as they begin their journey!

Training matters. Textbooks matter. Exercises matter. They all gave me a foundation and helped build the baseline knowledge I needed. But experience is what truly builds you over time.

Start your Monday off with something that makes you happy. Dutch Bros Coffee is always a solid choice for my “something”.

I’ve been fortunate to have strong women in my life who have shaped me in more ways than they probably realize. Many of them are mothers.

Today, I’m especially thinking about my mom, my sister, and my sister-in-law. 🤍
