067: The Most Important Leadership Skills for 2023 and Beyond with Karen Brown

Why do professional athletes make the best leaders and entrepreneurs? Which unique qualities among successful athletes can translate into the business world? 

In this episode, I got to interview Karen Brown, an award-winning pharmacist, entrepreneur, and Founder of Batch Tested - a company on a mission to ensure no athlete returns a positive drug test due to a contaminated supplement or nutritional product. What I absolutely loved about Karen is her ability to wear many hats - Pharmacist, Pharmacy Owner, Founder, Director, Leader, Speaker and most proudly wife and mum.

Tune in to hear Karen drop nugget after nugget on how the busiest people get things done, why nothing exciting happens in equilibrium, and the building blocks of kind, connected, and courageous leadership. This one’s an absolute banger!
