CSS 076 -- Power, Purpose, and Knowing When to Walk Away

Ashley Craig built one of the most decorated careers in corporate finance — from fixed income analysis at Morgan Stanley to managing a $100 million operating budget at The Walt Disney Company — and then did something most executives never do: she walked away from it all to ask harder questions. In this episode of C-Suite Success, Ashley sits down with Tricia Benn for an unfiltered conversation that covers the full arc of a remarkable career — the painful lessons of stepping away to raise her children and being told her skills had gone stale, the moment she realized that accumulating wealth was no longer enough, and why she believes the executives who will define the next decade are the ones paying attention to what's happening to their workforce right now. From the financialization of the American economy to AI, livable wages, and the power of knowing when to say no — Ashley Craig brings three decades of boardroom experience and hard-won clarity to a conversation every c-suite leader needs to hear.
