In this episode of Beyond the Balance Sheets, Amanda sits down with finance leader Ashton Edwards for a conversation that goes far beyond resumes, titles, and career milestones.

What began as a simple introduction quickly turned into one of those conversations that reminds you leadership isn't built solely through promotions or technical expertise. It's shaped by the challenges we face, the people who influence us, and the experiences that change how we lead others.

Together, Amanda and Ashton explore the human side of leadership, including vulnerability, mentorship, self-awareness, career growth, and what it really takes to build trust and lead with authenticity in today's workplace.

Whether you're an aspiring leader, an experienced executive, or somewhere in between, this episode is a reminder that the qualities that make us great leaders often have very little to do with what's listed on our LinkedIn profiles.

Tune in for an honest conversation about leadership, growth, and the person behind the title.
