323: Inside the Leading Ladies Internship with Paige Burgess and Dylan Ulehla

Some of the most valuable career lessons happen when you get the chance to step outside the classroom and experience the real world firsthand. In this episode, I'm joined by my summer interns, Paige Burgess and Dylan Ulehla, as we reflect on their experience with Leading Ladies and the lessons they're taking with them into their next chapters. We talk about what surprised them most about seeing entrepreneurs at work, how their confidence and communication skills grew, and why work-life balance and a supportive community made such an impact.

Topics covered in this episode include:

Why seeing the messy middle of entrepreneurship can change your perspective

The confidence boost that can come from one simple networking habit

What goes into deciding whether a business is actually ready to grow

Why brand consistency matters more than you might think

How real-world projects can teach lessons a classroom can't

The unexpected ways AI can show up in everyday business

What makes an internship genuinely valuable

Why staying open minded can lead you somewhere you never expected

Tune in to hear Paige and Dylan share what they learned, how they grew, and what they're taking with them as they head into their next chapters!
