Peterson sits down with entrepreneur, author, and Copper founder Allison Trowbridge for a conversation about leadership, adaptation, and the difference between staying committed to a mission and staying attached to a plan.Over the course of building Copper, Allison faced investor rejections, major pivots, layoffs, and moments when continuing forward seemed impossible. Yet through every version of the company, one thing remained unchanged: the people she set out to serve.The result is a powerful leadership conversation about knowing what should remain fixed, what must evolve, and why some of the most important leadership decisions begin with letting go.What This Explores• Why great leaders stay committed to the mission—not the original strategy• The difference between persistence and stubbornness• How to know when a pivot is necessary• Why success can create more pressure, not less• What failure teaches that success never can• The role community plays when leadership feels lonelyIf this conversation resonated with you, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who is building something meaningful.MENTIONED IN THIS CONVERSATIONCopper Books: https://copperbooks.com/Website:https://www.allisontrowbridge.com/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/allisontrowbridge/ Follow Badass SoftieInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/badasssoftiepodWebsite:https://www.badasssoftie.com
