Ep 1: Great Leaders, Terrible Managers
When you open yourself up to new experiences, you attract likeminded people. This is what happened when Elisha and special guest, Shannon Beekman, serendipitously crossed paths at a recent Permission Granted event. Both knew immediately that a special friendship had been sparked. In this episode, Shannon - owner and creator of Portland's iconic chain of salons, Urban Waxx - reminisces on the path of an entrepreneur: from "bossy" little girl selling candy in the school halls, to jumping off the cliff after a family death and moving cities, becoming pregnant, and opening her first salon... all within 9 months. These two badass boss-ladies get gritty on the necessary balance between being the fun, likable, Best Friend boss, to becoming a great leader... with boundaries.
