with Jenny Mitchell | Season Six
A podcast to help #2’s become #1’s in life and work.

Underdogs lead with compassion and kindness. These leaders are hard-wired to make the world a better place for everyone.
Join Jenny in this podcast to grow your skills, step into who you were always meant to be, and expand into your best version of yourself. Because right now, the world needs more underdog leadership
