Scaling with Soul | Ep. 1 with Kristi Broom (Lotus Transformation Group)

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
