This is the Leadership Journey series on the Choosing Leadership Podcast.I believe we all have a lot to learn from each other's stories - of where we started, where we are now, and our successes and struggles on the way. With this series of interviews, my attempt is to give leaders an opportunity to share their stories and for all of us to learn from their generous sharing.

Growth requires reinvention." — Anders Jones"Entrepreneurship is often about recognizing gaps in the market—Facet was born from the need for transparency in financial advisory.""In leadership, imposter syndrome is real. The key is embracing humility and learning from those around you.""Resumes don’t tell the whole story—real-world skills and adaptability are what truly matter in a fast-paced tech environment.""A fully remote company brings unique challenges, but intentional connection and culture-building make all the difference.""Success in leadership isn’t just about strategy—it’s about personal discipline, reflection, and the ability to adapt.""A strong morning routine isn’t a luxury—it’s an investment in sustained energy and clarity as a leader.""Innovation isn’t just about new ideas; it’s about continuously questioning outdated norms and building something better.""Every stage of growth demands a new way of thinking—what worked yesterday may not work tomorrow.""Leadership is about making choices that reflect innovation, empathy, and resilience—not just chasing success."
