Imagine being told you don’t fit the mold, and then creating a whole new table to sit at. That’s exactly what Crystal Foote did.
In this powerful conversation, we sit down with Crystal Foote: award-winning executive, founder of Digital Culture Group, and creator of ARI, the groundbreaking AI platform making waves across Fortune 500 brands. From breaking glass ceilings to building the only woman- and Black-owned ad tech company in the country, Crystal shares her raw insights on what it really means to lead with vision, resilience, and impact.
We dissect her journey from top sales performer to industry disruptor, how she navigates the challenges of building as an underrepresented founder, and why legacy matters more than accolades.
If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to truly stand out and win in business today, this is an episode you can’t afford to miss.
