Episode Description from the Publisher

Episode 79: Kim Godfrey — Leadership, Friendship & Finding What MattersKim Godfrey and I worked together through some of the busiest and most memorable years of my career at Best Buy.In this episode, we look back on those years—the pressure, the growth, the disagreements, the laughs, and the leadership lessons that stayed with us.Kim shares what she learned about building teams, listening to the people closest to the work, telling leaders the truth, and navigating a retail industry where she was often one of the only women in the room.We also talk about her life after Best Buy, the burnout that led her to step away, and how she eventually found a new chapter through her longtime passion for interior design.And as old friends tend to do, we go well beyond business—talking about family, memories with Susie, faith, friendship, getting older, and learning to stay present instead of borrowing worries from tomorrow.Kim started as a colleague, became a trusted confidant, and became a dear friend to me and my family.This one is warm, candid, funny, and very personal.
