Power changes what you see. Culture changes how you’re treated, and systems rarely look the same from the inside as they do from the top.

This episode brings together women leaders who have spent years building, operating, and deciding inside real organizations. Across industries and roles, the pattern is consistent. Leadership is not neutral. Culture is not objective. And value is often created in places the system does not fully recognize.

These conversations are not about confidence or personal branding. They are about how power distorts reality, why culture becomes invisible to those who benefit from it, and what women learn when they are responsible not just for ideas, but for outcomes.

You’ll hear women speak honestly about creating value under pressure, navigating systems that were not designed with them in mind, and learning to trust experience over performance. About struggle, resilience, innovation, and the long view of leadership.

This is Women of Business & Value, a series for people who want to understand how work actually works.

What separates businesses that stall from those that scale, endure, and matter?

This special episode brings together some of the sharpest thinkers, operators, and leaders we’ve ever had on the show to answer that question head on.

Across vision, leadership, systems, culture, and execution, these conversations reveal the real levers behind sustainable business growth. Not hacks. Not trends. Principles that compound.

You’ll hear why aiming bigger changes everything, how founders become bottlenecks without realizing it, why most leadership failures have nothing to do with strategy, and how the best companies build trust, resilience, and value over decades.

Featured insights from:
• Garry Ridge on turning failure into learning moments that fuel innovation
• Stephanie Chung on leadership that drives ROI, not optics
• John Rossman on why successful companies quietly fail and how to stop it
• Ken Schmidt on how Harley-Davidson rebuilt loyalty by putting people first
• Kass and Mike Lazerow on perseverance and the hidden cost of quitting too early
• Peter Cuneo on the strategy that saved Marvel and built a legendary turnaround
• Charlie Garcia on system-level thinking borrowed from the military and government
• Plus my insights on vision, leadership, and why great companies last

If you’re a founder, CEO, or operator trying to grow without breaking your business, this episode gives you a playbook built from real experience, not theory.

Scaling a business eventually forces one uncomfortable question.
Is the company stuck, or has the CEO stopped evolving?

In this episode of the Show Your Value podcast, Lee Benson talks with Luke Peters about what changes as a business moves from early traction to real scale.

Luke shares the story of building a company from his garage to more than $80M in annual revenue, what shifted as the business grew, and the lessons that only become clear after years of leading through complexity.

This conversation explores:

- How CEO decision making changes at each stage of growth

- Why hiring experience too late creates hidden limits

- The difference between running a business and building one that scales

- What it really means to prepare a company for an eventual exit

- Why growth requires discomfort and personal evolution

This episode is for founders and CEOs who sense their company is ready for the next level but know the answer is not another tactic.

It is a grounded conversation about leadership, responsibility, and building something that lasts.

Drawing on decades of experience starting, scaling, and exiting businesses, including high-growth ventures and acquisitions, the conversation focuses on leadership under pressure, founder responsibility, and the often overlooked behaviors that determine whether companies succeed or fail.

Topics discussed include:

• Why entrepreneurship is consistently misunderstood
• The role of failure as a daily part of the job

• Why incentives shape behavior more than motivation
• Leadership ego, fear, and accountability
• Fulfillment, purpose, and long-term value creation

Why is Booking.com worth more than the top four airlines combined, even though airlines control half of all traveler demand?

In this episode of Show Your Value, I sit down with Terry Jones (former CEO of Travelocity, founding chairman of Kayak) to unpack one of the biggest missed opportunities in modern business.

Airlines thought they were in the business of flying planes.
Booking.com understood it was in the business of owning the customer journey.

We dive into:

• Why airlines failed to sell the full trip (hotels, cars, experiences)
• How Booking.com built massive value without owning planes
• The platform mindset that separates winners from losers
• Why selling outcomes beats selling assets
• How AI is creating the next wave of disruption in travel and beyond
• What most leaders misunderstand about their own business model

This is a masterclass in platform strategy, business model evolution, and long-term value creation with lessons that apply far beyond travel.

If you’re a founder, executive, investor, or operator, this episode will change how you think about growth.
