Episode Synopsis

Pamela Holz, Executive Director of the Association for Corporate Growth Tennessee, doesn’t just walk into a room — she lights it up. But behind her joyful presence is a deep leadership philosophy built on connection, empathy, and the belief that everyone matters.
 
In this heartfelt episode of Building Great People, Pamela reflects on her roots as a teacher, her love for people, and how she helps high-powered business leaders stay grounded in humanity. She and Rylan Kean dive into the power of empathy, the danger of transactional relationships, and the simple act of asking someone their name.
 
They explore how volunteering, committee work, emotional intelligence, and even a fast-food background can shape better business leaders. From navigating tough conversations to inspiring others to do more than they believed possible, this conversation will stick with you.
