from Leadership Decanted · host Paul Garcia, KG Butler, Ali Smyth

Send us a message!Fifty! Yes, that's 50. Episodes, that is.As we begin our sixth year of Leadership Decanted, we kick it off with our 50th main episode. And what a rewarding conversation this was. In this episode the conversation turns to questions like, "What if leadership is simply a response to human connection? And not just connection, but also the nurturing and cultivation of those very connections so as to contribute to the lives of those we lead and those we serve?"What would that look like?We think it looks like Ali Smyth - Founder and Director of Electric Collective. Join KG and Paul as they chat to Ali over a delectable bottle of wine about her professional journey and how, by embracing unconventional - yet oh so human - approaches, she has built a business that clearly expresses her own humanity, and the humanity of those around her.We are grateful to Annandale Cellars for once again generously providing the wine to accompany this expansive conversation. On this occasion we are fortunate to taste a Schloss Gobelsburg Grüner Veltliner Loss 2024 from Austria. Crisp and lively with notes of green apple, pear, white pepper, and a hint of lemon - maybe even pineapple!Get at least half a dozen of these (or half a dozen of any of Annadale Cellars' amazing wines) and get a 20% discount by using our code at checkout: DECANTEDSláinte friends!
