Episode Summary
Sometimes we get handed something we didn’t create - a business, a team, a problem - and our success depends on what we do next.
Hillary Spreizer, CEO of The Latitude Group, knows that moment well. She bought an existing company and rebuilt it into something aligned, modern, and deeply her own. This episode is about that process - what it takes to step into someone else’s vision, rewrite the story, and lead with clarity, heart, and standards.
Holly and Hillary talk about redefining protecting company integrity, making tough calls, and learning to trust your instincts when treading in unknown territory.
If you’ve ever inherited something that didn’t start with you - this conversation will change how you see what’s possible.
