In this kickoff episode of Is Anything Real in Paid Advertising?, I sit down with Kristi Broom, Co-Founder of Rising Tide Cooperative to talk candidly about building inclusive cultures, evolving leadership identities, and embracing AI without losing your edge.
We dive into:
- Scaling while staying grounded in your values
- Using transparency and empathy as strategic tools
- Why “being in the weeds” on purpose is part of Kristi’s leadership playbook
- The magic of brave spaces over just “safe” ones
