Fry Girl Fundamentals is the leadership podcast that proves the best leadership lessons don't always come from the boardroom.
Hosted by executive leadership consultant Mildred Hill, each episode uncovers practical, honest conversations with leaders from every walk of life—people who have built trust, inspired teams, overcome failure, and discovered what leadership really looks like when no one's watching.
Whether you're leading a healthcare practice, a business, a team, or simply striving to become a better leader, you'll walk away with actionable strategies, fresh perspectives, and the confidence to lead with greater purpose and impact.
Because leadership isn't about where you start. It's about who you become.
