Authentic Leadership for Everyday People is the podcast where we investigate the connection between effective leadership and authenticity. If you are looking for inspiration and tips on how to become a better leader by being your true self, you are in the right place. Today's guest is Kristen Standish, founder of RazHer, an accelerator agency, and member community for women founded and minority founded mission driven brands. Kristen started this company after a career of over 20 years in Boston media. She worked for radios, newspaper and for a long time she was the publisher of the prestigious Boston magazine.Kristen is accomplished, fun and a true force of nature. Most importantly, she is fully confident in who she is, so she didn’t hold back. We talked about what it takes to be successful in sales.  She also had great advice on how to build a passion driven business and the advantages of becoming an entrepreneur later in life. Finally she also talked very directly and openly about some of the challenges she faced as a strong and energetic woman who is not afraid to go against archaic practices.KEY TAKEAWAYS[02:54] - Kristen, welcome to the podcast, it's great to have you. Let’s start by having you introduce yourself to our listeners. Tell us a little bit of your story and how you got where you are now.[09:14] - How do you define authenticity and what does it mean for you to be authentic?[11:53] - How do you think about being a leader of sales people? What qualities are you trying to model for them? How do you teach them? How do you train them?[14:48] - What advice do you have to help people overcome their initial shyness?[16:16] - How did you rethink your role as a leader as a publisher? And how did your sales skill help you in the new leadership position?[18:54] - You mentioned, early on, a couple of challenges that you went through and I am wondering if you would be willing to talk to us about them. And share maybe the important lessons that you gathered from those experiences and how that shaped you into the leader you are now?[20:14] - Owning who you are and being comfortable with who you are, I think is great.[22:42] - It was almost like working for the Catholic Church, I have to say. I mean so many rules, regulations, you didn’t step aside, you didn’t step up, you never spoke up, you never said anything. So you can imagine I was not loved.[26:00] - There is an organizational change, and all of a sudden the people above you who may have brought you in or who really believe in you are gone. What advice would you have for somebody who finds themselves in that position?[27:10] - Let's talk about how do you start a mission based business? What suggestions would you have for someone who has a passion and they want to start a business based on their passion?[29:47] - How does one get from “figuring out that's the mission they want to support”, to start thinking about “this is how this turns into a business”, but then take the right early steps?[32:40] - You have mentioned relationships and experience, what are the things you think are the other benefits to starting your business later on in life?[35:05] - In a trade off where you need to take investor money to build the next unicorn or not build a unicorn but keep full control, you would probably take the latter, is that correct? [36:24] - What is a passion that you have outside of work? And how has that impacted your work and professional life?[40:10] - Every era has expressions in business and jargon that at some point drive us crazy, which is the one that drives you crazy?[40:42] - Food for the body or food for the soul?Contact Dino at: dino@al4ep.comWebsites:al4ep.comrazher.comAdditional Guest Links:Razher Mind community: razher.com/razhermindLinkedIn Corporate: linkedin.com/company/razhercollaborativeLinkedIn Kristen:  linkedin.com/in/kristenstandish/Instagram: @razehercollabFacebook: facebook.com/razhercollabAuthentic Leadership For Everyday People / Dino CattaneoDino on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dinocattaneoPodcast Instagram – @al4edp Podcast Twitter – @al4edp Podcast Facebook: facebook.com/al4edpMusicSusan Cattaneo: susancattaneo.bandcamp.comThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

033 Kristen Standish - Unapologetic Leadership

A vibrant chat with Kristen Standish, the CEO of Grapevine and founder of Grapevine Village. Since joining Grapevine in 2018, she has overhauled the company’s operations and strengthened Grapevine’s position as a leader in enterprise digital marketing. Using her decades of experience creating revenue and brand awareness for several media companies, including Boston magazine where she served as Publisher, and the Phoenix Media/Communications Group, CBS Radio, and the Boston Globe, Kristen is adept at driving sales and creating lasting mutually beneficial business relationships while also constantly innovating. In 2020, alongside Co-Founder Charity Richins, she launched Grapevine Shops, the consumer-facing e-commerce platform where shoppers of all ages and interests will discover innovative and purpose-driven brands, most of which are led by black, brown, and female business owners, and were carefully curated by Kristen and Charity. Building what Kristen deems a “trust economy” is important to her and the Grapevine brand, and it means that both the small businesses featured on Shops and the creators in the Grapevine Village community share the same commitment to giving back, as 10% of all Shops proceeds go to charitable organizations, such as Family Reach.Find Grapevine at https://www.grapevinevillage.com/Get your own show! pod617.com can produce a podcast for you.

Get it on the Grapevine: Kristen Standish

When I first met my longtime friend and colleague, Kristen Standish, she was at the helm of Boston Magazine as its publisher. Now, she’s the CEO of Grapevine Logic. In this conversation, Kristen brings her natural spark to the BSuite in this colorful episode. We explore how the influencer marketplace has grown exponentially over the past decade, and how diversity and social justice are reflected in the profiles of influencer creatives. We’ll look at the expectations clients bring to the table when considering an investment in influencer marketing. And finally, we’ll round out the episode with an honest chat about how she juggles the dual roles of single parent and CEO, why she took up sailing, and how I got interested in bees and beekeeping.
