I started this morning finally listening to ’s new podcast, In Good Company.
I’ve known Cathy for years. Our paths first crossed when she was Marketing Manager for the Irish Linen Guild and I was working for in ACA. To this day, I’ve never forgotten how kind Cathy was to me.
Our paths have crossed many times since, both professionally and personally, and she has always been one of my biggest supporters and a great friend. Despite working in the same competitive industry, there has never been an air of competition. In fact, she’s always been there with words of encouragement and advice. She was made to be a podcast host.
And what a guest to kick off the series , I could listen to this pair all day.
I first met Linda very shortly after I launched FBC. I tortured for the introduction! Over the years, I’ve watched Linda’s business explode, driven by her sheer hard work, but also because of the genuine person she is.
It was Linda who first planted the seed of launching a product in my head years ago. When I said to her that I wouldn’t have a clue what I could do, Linda simply replied, “You’ll just know.”
And years later, she was absolutely right.
Listening to these powerhouses today was such a reminder that the best people in business are the ones who genuinely champion others along the way. We’re lucky is lucky to have women like Cathy and Linda leading the conversation. Make sure this podcast is on your list.
