Be Great. Be Arcadia.
Season three kicks off with something special: the only recorded session from our 2025 Arcadia Leadership Experience. Recorded live in front of 65 attendees, this episode blends honest reflection, leadership lessons, and the heart of what’s next for our constellation (aka community). We share the story behind Arcadia, how it began as a consulting business and grew into a movement, and what it means to “Be Arcadia.”
Throughout the conversation, we open up about choosing to invest in yourself, redefining success, and why greatness isn’t about perfection, but about the daily pursuit of better-than-average. If you’ve ever felt called to invest in yourself or find harmony in the chaos, this is the perfect place to start.
What you’ll learn:
- What it really means to live with intention
- Why “greatness” and “harmony” go hand in hand
- How choosing yourself can transform not just your work, but your life
