In this episode of Unconventional Wisdom about Conventional Wisdom, I had the pleasure of sitting down with my friend and incredible business leader, Esther Polson, Founder and CEO of Rare Solutions, LLC. We had a deeply insightful and candid conversation about her career journey, the importance of marketing operations, and her concept of a “Blank Slate Day”a way to reset, refocus, and rejuvenate.
Esther also shared her perspective on leadership, including the pitfalls of fostering a “family” work environment and why mutual respect, rather than fear, is the foundation of a healthy workplace culture. We talked about personal and professional growth, tackling imposter syndrome, and the invaluable lesson of understanding business finances. Her insights were honest, practical, and inspiring, and I can’t wait for you to hear them.
