women have to find this balance between, you know, being assertive but not aggressive and, you know,

being compassionate but not emotional.

You know, there's these tags that are put on women that are just different with the same action of a man. Welcome to the Second in Command Podcast, produced by the COO Alliance and brought to

you by its founder Cameron Herald. In the Second in Command podcast we talked to top

coos who share the insights, strategies and tactics that made them the

chief behind the chief. And now here's your host, Cameron Herald.

All right, I think you're going to love this week's interview we have Stacy Ryan who is the

CEO of School of Rock you probably even want to watch this episode on our

Second and Command podcast YouTube channel.

Stacy has been building the School of Rock globally.

She joined, they had 16 corporate locations,

they now have 35, or sorry, 40 corporate locations.

They have 353 locations worldwide operating in 15 countries. This is a education system where they

teach kids and adults, their oldest clients about 85 years old, how to play instruments, how to play

in a rock band, how to play music together, but they also do a massive amount of work around

mental health and helping people reconnect with themselves. It's not why people join, it's not what they sell,

but that's the impact they have on the world.

She's also going to talk about women in the C-suite and women and how they need to lean in and be stronger as executives.

You'll love the episode. Lots of great lessons in here and I had fun recording it.

We'll see you on the inside and this might even be one you'll want to share with your list as well.

So Stacy, welcome to the Second-In-Command Podcast.

Thank you.
