Hey everybody, welcome to the Indie Stanley Leadership Podcast, a conversation designed to help

leaders go further, faster.

Now if you're new to our leadership podcast, you know that normally Lane Jones is your host,

but today I'm hosting because I have my friend Cheryl Batchelder in the studio with me,

which means I get to ask the questions.

Cheryl, thanks so much for joining us on this podcast.

I'm delighted to be here.

And well, we're delighted that you're here and those on the other end of this microphone

who know you are certainly delighted and those who are about to be introduced to you are

going to be even more delighted.

Now as some of you may know, Cheryl is the CEO of Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen.

Cheryl joined Popeyes in November of 2007 after serving as a member of the Board of Directors

for about a year.

To this role she brought, and this is amazing, more than 35 years of experience in brand

building operations, renting a public company at companies like Domino's, Pizza, RJ Art

of Misco, the Gillette company, and Procter & Gamble.

So this is going to be an extraordinarily helpful conversation.

In fact, this conversation isn't going to be an extraordinarily helpful conversation.

This is going to be two conversations.

So Cheryl will be back with us next month for part two of what we're going to begin today.

Cheryl's an author.

She's written a fantastic book called Dare to Serve, How to Drive Superior Results by Serving
