In this episode of the Denver Top Floor Podcast, Darren Kanthal sits down with Skylar Elisberg, CEO of Wishlist, to discuss the intentional difference between crafting a mantra versus a mission. Skylar explains why perks and benefits alone aren't enough to build a culture where employees want to stay and grow. Instead, it's about defining a clear, authentic vision—like Wishlist's mantra, "Meaningful giving at meaningful moments"—and leading with transparency and purpose. This episode provides valuable insights for leaders and entrepreneurs on how to truly connect with their teams and cultivate long-lasting engagement.
