In this heartfelt episode of The Show Me You Know Me® Show, host Sam McKenna interviews Kim Peretti, Chief Customer Officer at Restaurant365.

It’s rare to witness two powerful executive women having a candid conversation about life challenges that we all fear: the social and intellectual aspects of retirement, the challenges of identity beyond a high-powered career, and the need for support systems and mentors who believe in your full potential.

This episode highlights Kim’s incredible professional success, including being part of the leadership team during two IPOs, but it also underscores the intricate balancing act between professional success and personal well-being, especially for women in executive roles.

It’s a must-listen and one of our all-time favorite episodes. Enjoy!
