Pull Up a Chair and Meet Louwana Ball

Twenty-five years ago, I sat down in her chair in Charlotte, North Carolina. She did my hair. We fell out in the same church pew. She sold me my first dream home. She watched me launch my first business. And in the years we were not in direct contact, she was still in my corner, cheering from the porch.That is what a Feeder looks like. And she is my first guest this season.Louwana Ball is the founder of Lou Ball & Co. and what she calls a CEO identity architect. She has run multimillion-dollar operations, started over more than once, and arrived somewhere far more powerful than any title: a life built around alignment instead of achievement.This conversation goes deep. She walks through the journey from corporate accounting to hair school to real estate to a balcony in Jamaica where stillness cracked something open that hustle never could. She talks about what it costs to chase things that do not match who you are, the difference between ambition as identity and ambition as one piece of a whole person, and why the only thing missing in her recipe was her.This is Episode 3 in the flesh. This is what the right person in your circle looks like over a lifetime.
