From Cold Calls to Capitol Reform with Karen Barbour

Karen Barbour didn't learn leadership all at once.

Over the course of her career in surety bonding, she built a business, challenged expectations in a male-dominated industry, advocated for procurement reform, and served as a mentor to women entering the profession. Those experiences shaped the conversation she shares with Christina May in this episode of The Breakout Moment.

Together, they discuss confidence, mentorship, learning to ask for help, the pressure to "balance it all," and the question Karen still returns to when deciding whether something is worth fighting for: "How much do you hate injustice?"
