From Railroads to Reinvention: Katie Mednick on Leadership, Values, and Building What Matters

from Expressions of Leadership · host Michele Kawamoto Perry

In this episode, Michele Kawamoto Perry interviews Katie Mednick, a founder and TEDx speaker who bootstrapped Spark TS into a North American rail industry leader before successfully exiting in 2025. Katie shares how she navigated complex regulations, built trust across unionized teams and regulators, and scaled a product under intense pressure. This conversation goes beyond entrepreneurship into the heart of leadership. Katie reflects on leading through uncertainty, defining success through values, and building resilience in the face of setbacks. She also shares her journey of reinvention with Alumah, a spiritual self-care platform designed to help individuals and teams cultivate clarity, alignment, and inner strength.
