• 0:09
  SPEAKER_00: And she was very clear with me.

  SPEAKER_00: Steve Rogers, the man behind the shield.
• 0:18
  SPEAKER_00: And another guest built a company in her garage and sold it to Avery Labels for millions.

  SPEAKER_00: And I'm keeping her character just a little bit tucked away until when you hear her episode.
• 0:33
  SPEAKER_00: So sparklers, wait until you hear who else is coming to Mosaic Sparks.

• 1:08
  SPEAKER_01: This is where brilliance learns to speak.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_00: So welcome, welcome back, sparklers.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to Mosaic Sparks with me, your host, Leslie George.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: And this is your weekly moment to pause, connect, and put a little purpose behind your next step.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_00: If this is your first time listening, welcome.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: You're a sparkler now.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_00: To everyone else who's been listening, sharing the episode, and telling a friend, I so appreciate you.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: So around here, we pull leadership lessons from Disney films and characters, and I ask entrepreneurs and leaders to tell me who they see themselves in.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: My favorite part is just hearing the why.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: A guest will name a character I may have seen a dozen times, then point out something I never paid attention to.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: And by the end of the interview, I'm ready to watch the movie again.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: And I help women over 40 turn their stories and professional experience into books.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe you want your grandchildren to read your story in your own words.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: Or maybe you spent years building experience and you're ready to put what you know into a book that can help someone else.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: If you've been carrying that idea around, let's talk about what it would take to get it on the page.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: So visit themosaicpub.com and that information will be in the show notes.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: So let's get back to the episode.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_00: So let's start with Steve Rogers.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: Our guest worked at NASA, and when she talks about why she connects with him, she talks about being a champion for people.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: That made me think about the quiet decisions leaders make every day.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: Who do you speak up for when they're out of the room?
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_00: When you have a seat at the table, whose work do you make sure gets named?
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: I want you to hear why why Steve Rogers was the name she chose.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: We're also sitting down with a breast cancer thriver who connects with Moana.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: She told me it took her five years to get clear on her purpose.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_00: And I want to give, and I want to give those five years some room because we often hear somebody say, I found my purpose.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_00: And the whole process gets wrapped up in one sentence.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: If you've ever felt pressure to know what comes next while you're still making sense of what you've been through, I think you'll want to sit down with this conversation.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_00: Then there's the entrepreneur who started her company in a garage and sold it to Avery Labels for millions.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_00: Everybody hears millions, but I want to take you back to the garage.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: What did she see in the idea when it was still small enough to build at home?
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_00: What did she learn about herself as the company grew?
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: And as for her character, go ahead and make your guess.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: Brings a different life to a story we thought we already knew.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: And Sparklers, I'm excited to welcome a new sponsor of Mosaic Sparks.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: I've been looking forward to telling you about this product, and I will release that in some of the next coming episodes.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_00: And I've also found that here's how it can help you as well.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: And you'll find the details and everything else once we do post who our new sponsor is.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: So before you go, think of a character you see yourself in.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_00: Then I want you to get real specific.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: What did that character do that made you say, ooh, I've done that?
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: Or I wish I had the courage to do that.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_00: That's the part I'd love to hear.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_00: Send me your character and the scene that made you pick them.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: So follow Mosaic Sparks wherever you listen.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_00: So the November interviews that show up in your feed.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_00: If someone sent you this episode, tell them who you think our garage founder may pick.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_00: Let's see who gets it right.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_00: And so, once again, I am Leslie George.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: Go out and spark something today.
• 6:44
