Following the Leaders: The Leadership Southern Indiana Podcast

This month I venture out of our office and to the B.A.Y.A Center in Clarksville to talk with the Founder and Executive Director of B.A.Y.A. Beautiful As You Are, Tish Frederick. Tish is a member of the DISCOVER 2023 class. We had a very relaxing conversation about the origins of B.A.Y.A as a nonprofit (Trigger warning there is mention of self-harm in this episode), her journey from not even wanting kids to having 2 of her own to leading this ground braking organization, and she gives some wonderful advice to aspiring leaders out there.
I also couldn't let her leave with out discussing the origins of one of my all time favorite team ups, her and Emily Oliver-Jones (See Episode 01)

Tyler and Jesse have known each other since performing together on the New Albany High School stage and discuss their performance paths and how that has led them to working in the non-profit world. Jesse and Tyler also discuss the importance of finding an outlet for your passions and how sometimes that doesn't involve how you make a living and that's ok!
