Strong communities start with intention and vision before results.
This week, we discuss our journey with Arcadia, a space we’ve built for leaders to connect, learn, and grow. After two successful events, we’ve expanded into an ongoing community that nurtures relationships beyond the conference room, blending work, life, and personal growth.
In this conversation, we share how we navigated the balance between business and family, why alignment is key in both work and life, and how we’ve been able to build something that’s not just an event but a movement. We dive into what it truly means to create a space of belonging, how to prioritize self-care while building big dreams, and the lessons we’ve learned about leadership and trust.
Whether it’s at home or in the office, we think you’ll walk away from this one with a fresh perspective on how to show up for the people who matter.
What you’ll learn:
How to balance business, family, and personal growth effectivelyWhy alignment and communication are essential for leadership and trustThe key to building community beyond just an event
