From Pro Gamer to Tech CRO: Betting on Yourself With Stevie Case

In this episode, Stevie Case, one of the first female professional gamers in the world and current CRO of tech company Vanta shares her nonlinear path from growing up on a Kansas prairie with no exposure to business, to professional gaming, to leading at the highest levels in Silicon Valley sales. Stevie talks about building confidence by acting before she felt ready, why proximity to the right mentors matters more than titles, and how navigating male-dominated industries has shaped her leadership. She’s candid about toxic environments, becoming a single mom early in her career and carrying the pressure of being the sole provider, and the gut-level knowing that told her it was time to leave a company she once thought she’d stay at forever. This conversation is a reminder that you don’t need a perfect plan, just the courage to walk toward fear and the self-trust to grow as you go. In this episode, you’ll hear about: Why adopting a “why not me?” mindset took her to the C-suite How she learned to use fear and discomfort as signals to move forward, not shrink back Why choosing steep learning curves and mentorship over impressive titles shaped her long-term success How she decided when to stay and fight for change, and when to walk away What it looks like to lead high-performing teams with real humanity, not just hard metrics   Follow on Instagram: @conscioussuccessco Work with me: https://www.conscioussuccessco.com/book-a-success-call
