    Sarah Yule: Harnessing Momentum for Positive Progress in Life and Career

    Sarah Yule noticed that the world would inevitably turn her into a statistic and decided to channel it for good.  Sarah didn’t take the expected route to the top of one of the music industry’s most iconic brands. Her path wound through recording studios, unexpected pivots, and a series of moments that had less to do with a five-year plan and everything to do with momentum. As Managing Director of Orange Amps, she’s now reshaping what leadership looks like from the inside out, and she’s got a lot ot say about how we get there.  In this conversation with Natalie and Stephanie, it’s less about fixed endpoints and more about the energy of progression, the power of staying in motion. She offers a refreshingly grounded take on ambition, one built on self-awareness and interconnection rather than rigid milestones.  Join us for an episode rich with metaphors that make the music industry’s complex ecosystem feel navigable, with some fun surprises along the way.   ––––––––––––– This episode is presented by Women of NAMM and Powered by AKG.
