    Ep 2 — You're Always Selling (with Kat Hurd)

    Think sales isn't your job? If you lead, you're selling all day long. Your ideas, your decisions, your timelines, your team's work, and yourself. In this episode of Leadership Happy Hour, I sit down with Kat Hurd, a sales strategist and leadership coach who spent nearly twenty years in medical device sales, to unpack what most leaders get wrong about influence. Kat went from Clinical Specialist to Rep of the Year, grew a $500K territory into $6.5 million, and scaled a team from zero to fifty-five before stepping out to coach. We get into building influence before you have the title, why the way you speak and strategize shapes the opportunities you get, and the systems that make success repeatable instead of accidental. She also shares one of the hardest lessons in the jump from top performer to leader: you're not there to make your team carbon copies of you, you're there to make them better than you. Grab a drink and pull up a seat. You'll leave with one move you can make this week.
