Vision Requires Conviction and Sacrifice Whether you're leading a team, building a business, or navigating a complex role, vision is what anchors you. But vision isn't free—it demands conviction, humility, and often, sacrifice.

🎙️ Leadership and Legacy: A Conversation with Lydia Martinez, CEO of Elle Marketing & Events
Welcome to the very first episode of Frameworks! I sit down with Lydia Martinez — CEO and founder of Elle Marketing & Events, based in Utah — for a raw and inspiring conversation about leadership, humility, and building something that lasts. From her beginnings as a lifeguard to scaling a creative agency through a 400% growth spurt during the pandemic, Lydia unpacks the real moments that shaped her as a leader. We talk about building women-driven teams, creating space for honest communication, and navigating the pressure of leading while still learning. You’ll also hear about her newest venture, the Restaurant Owner’s Marketing Academy, and what it means to lead with legacy in mind.
