EPISODE NOTES
This episode is for anyone who has ever thought, “I could do more, but should I?” Ashley shares how she went from starting out as a Spanish interpreter to get her “foot in the door” to becoming a three-time CEO, leading hospitals through COVID and then humbly stepping back into the role of a “team of one” to launch her own company, MedCurate. You’ll learn exactly why she’s been named a 2026 Woman of Achievement, what it really takes to start and scale a company and how confidence, support and a willingness to pivot can change your trajectory. You’ll hear about the importance of Tri Delta in Ashley’s life today and lighten things up with a rapid-fire round that proves even powerhouse leaders have favorite songs and perfect Saturdays. This conversation is honest, practical and just the right mix of inspiration and advice for anyone listening!
