Lindsay McGuire was a SaaS powerhouse, a director-level “titan” in the Indianapolis tech scene. But deep down, she felt a calling back to her community. She joins Tom to discuss the psychological hurdle of walking away from the “golden handcuffs” of software and the pivotal advice from her mother that changed everything.
Now the Assistant Director of Advancement, Branding and Outreach at The Milk Bank, Lindsay discusses the “revolutionary” shift from marketing software to saving infants’ lives in the NICU. We dive into:
- The Fear of the Jump: Overcoming the internal monologue that says leaving a high-level role is “stupid.”
- Public Health vs. MarTech: Moving from the “fight or flight” of software trends to the thoughtful, high-stakes pace of community health.
- Junior League & Capacity: How to give back without burning out.
- The Metaphysical B-Side: A hilarious and brilliant story about how selling Thor’s hammers and “potions” at a jewelry store became a jumping off point for her content marketing career.
