Margie has a wealth of views on a global scale working with leaders and entrepreneurs from all over the world and at all stages of business in her role at Branches.

Margie and I talk about the importance of recognizing and considering your own lens on resilience, leadership, impact, and community, how her own faith and beliefs shape how she thinks about leadership, tapestry as a metaphor for a career journey, and the difference between healthy resilience and just surviving.
