In this episode, we sit down with Sara, Matt's accomplished sister. Sara shares her inspiring journey from a machine shop job at age 19 to becoming a successful supply chain leader in the aerospace industry.
She opens up about navigating male-dominated workplaces, dealing with people who underestimate her intelligence, and how she's learned to combat gender bias with humor and directness. Sara discusses her unique leadership philosophy of finding answers together with her team rather than pretending to have all the solutions, and why she believes on-the-job experience often trumps formal education.
We explore how Sara thrives under pressure, her approach to delivering difficult news in supply chain management, and her dreams of eventually expanding beyond Kansas while balancing career growth with raising her children. This conversation offers valuable insights into leadership, resilience, and succeeding in challenging professional environments.
