Ep 9: Success is Built, Not Given: Women Who Lead & Elevate Others

Let’s be real—success isn’t handed out. It’s earned. And no one knows that better than Laura Cole, VP of Staffing & Sales at Exegistics.

Laura’s story isn’t just about climbing the ladder—it’s about rewriting the playbook for leadership and building unstoppable teams. From stepping into staffing by sheer instinct (before she even knew what she was signing up for) to becoming a powerhouse leader who has shaped teams, businesses, and careers, her journey is packed with lessons every business owner, leader, and entrepreneur needs to hear.

Key takeaways from this episode:

• Why hiring the right people is the real game-changer for business growth
• The power of leadership clarity—because what you talk about is what gets done
• How mentors & community shape success (even when they don’t have the official title)
• Why women in leadership still have more room to rise—and how to make it happen

Laura has built, rebuilt, and transformed businesses, and she drops some serious wisdom on what it takes to not just lead, but to win.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re on the right path, battled imposter syndrome, or struggled to build a high-performing team, this episode is for you.
