In this final episode of The Found Podcast's Ages & Stages Series, I sit down with Nancy Lynk — Senior Vice President of Commercial Banking at US Bank, community leader, mentor, and lifelong learner — for a conversation that spans generations of leadership, resilience, and self-discovery.
From growing up on a Century Farm in rural Iowa to navigating the 1980s farm crisis as a young ag lender to leading complex commercial banking portfolios to now guiding others through career and life transitions, Nancy's story is a masterclass in listening deeply, honoring your values, and becoming fearless with your own growth.
Together, Nancy and I explore:
• Building confidence before the world gives you permission
• Lessons from the 1980s farm crisis and the power of human potential
• Career pivots that shape long-term leadership
• Why reflection, journaling, and contemplative practice matter
• Letting go of chronic busyness to invest in yourself
• Becoming the mentor you once needed
• And the truth Nancy discovered: she was the only thing holding herself back
This episode is an invitation to pause, listen inward, and ask:
Where am I ready to stop standing in my own way?
