“The success of any organization comes down to the mindset of the leader.”
That quote has stuck with Rachel for decades — because it’s not just about business.
It’s about life.
You are the leader of your own life experience.
And the way you think in the storm determines everything that follows.
In this episode, Rachel unpacks how optimism isn’t a mood — it’s a strategy.
You’ll learn how to:
✅ Reframe frustration into opportunity.
✅ Lead yourself (and others) through unexpected challenges.
✅ Shift your perspective so you can see possibilities instead of problems.
Through stories from Pumpkinman and The Luna Run, Rachel reveals how rain-soaked race days and surprise storms taught her the truth about optimism: it’s not pretending everything’s fine — it’s asking, “What might this be showing me?”
If you’re ready to stop reacting to what happens and start leading yourself through it, this episode will show you how.
🎧 Press play — and learn how optimism can become your most powerful strategy for growth, leadership, and life.
