#145: Korie Robertson, TV star of Duck Dynasty – Be true to yourself

Today’s guest is Korie Robertson, one of the stars of the hit reality TV show Duck Dynasty. In fact, it was Korie’s idea to take their small family duck call business and turn it into a TV show about the quirky Robertson family.  Duck Dynasty became one of the most successful reality shows in history, and Korie and her husband Willie were the business minds behind it all.  But through it all, Korie has been herself, through and through.  She’s true to her values. She trusts her gut. And she understands exactly where her boundaries are. That sense of personal integrity – of really being true to yourself – is something practically every respected leader has. People are drawn to that kind of authenticity because they know that’s a leader they can trust. And when you listen to Korie in this episode, you’re going to get an up-close-and-personal look at how to stay true to yourself even in the midst of big changes.
