A practice I had maintained for over 13 years — gone overnight. I couldn't walk. Surgery. Months of physical therapy. Six months later, I'm still in rehabilitation, still working from home, still rebuilding. And yet — my work as a Staff PM at Walmart Marketplace continued. Full ownership. Full accountability.

High-stakes deliverables in seller risk and data infrastructure. Even when showing up was the hardest thing I did that day.

This season has been one of the most difficult of my life. It has also been one of the most clarifying. In this episode I talk about what I've learned — as a leader, and as a human.
