On to tonight's featured leader, the great Angie Hicks, co-founder of Angie's List, now called Angie. She started the company at just 23 years old, going door to door as a self-described introvert and non-salesperson, and she turned it into a national platform trusted by millions. During our conversation, we discuss what it takes to lead with authenticity and build lasting impact. Angie shares stories from her early days selling memberships one conversation at a time, what she learned about confidence, partnership, and hiring the right people, and why staying very close to the front lines, especially as a senior leader, is so important.
