S2 EP16 - Real Talk with Emma G & Ra: Bring Someone With You w. Kari Swenson
Join us as we chat with Kari Swenson – multi-business owner, leader of 480 employees, and passionate advocate for people-first leadership – for Episode 16 of Real Talk: Mental Health Sounds Like This.
Kari’s career spans decades in both the retail and restaurant industries, including her role as Owner/Operator of 12 McDonald’s restaurants across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC. She also owns a thriving e-commerce and retail business importing Polish Pottery from Bolesławiec, Poland.
Her leadership philosophy is simple: treat people well, connect with them, help them grow—and they’ll stick around. She has seen team members go from working the front counter to managing entire stores, living out her personal motto: “As you look to the stars, always try to turn around and bring someone with you.”
In this episode, we explore:
Why people-first leadership is the secret to her business success
How she creates growth opportunities for her team
The importance of focusing on what you can control
How Krav Maga taught her to “get comfortable being uncomfortable”
The connection between creativity, resilience, and leadership
Plus: why process matters more than outcome in both business and life
If you believe great leadership is about empowering people and building community, you’ll love this conversation.
