    In this episode, Kelsey talks about how she got her start at 22 being thrown into planning a convention for 10,000 people, what it's like balancing a big career with two kids, and why she thinks the best leaders are the ones who just aren't afraid to be themselves. We also get into some real talk about being held back at work, feeling stuck in the middle of your career, and what it means to actually support the people on your team instead of just managing them.
