đ§ BUILDERS Season 3 | Episode 11
Meghan Houle is a former luxury retail executive turned Forbes Ranked Executive Recruiter, career coach, podcast host, and now Tech Founder & CEO of CONCĂ â a concierge-style recruitment platform designed to make hiring smarter, more human, and more efficient for both brands and professionals.
After climbing the ladder in the fast-paced fashion world, Meghan hit a personal breaking point. Her success on paper masked deep burnout, toxic leadership environments, and the gut feeling that she was meant for more.
So she left.
And built something better.
Now, through her companies and her podcast Pivot with Purpose, Meghan helps leaders rewrite the narrative around work, worth, and what's possible â without the performative BS.
This conversation is a masterclass in boundaries, personal brand, career reinvention, and how to build a team with both courage and care.
In this episode, we dive into:
đ„ Why burnout is often a brand problem, not a productivity one
đ„ How to spot red flags in leadership culture before you say yes
đ„ The personal cost of toxic ambition (and how to recover from it)
đ„ Why your resume doesnât tell your real story â and what does
đ„ How to build a personal brand thatâs true, not just polished
đ„ The shifts that helped her go from overworked exec to aligned entrepreneur
đ„ What corporate taught her â and what she had to unlearn
đ„ Why career pivots are identity work first, strategy second
đ„ Her 3-step framework for helping leaders reinvent with clarity and confidence
đ„ The mindset it takes to walk away from a âdream jobâ thatâs killing you
đ„ The biggest roadblocks leaders face in recruiting (and retaining) top talent
đ„ How CONCĂ is revolutionizing the recruitment experience for both brands and top talent
This episode will leave you rethinking your relationship with work, leadership, and what you allow in the name of success.
