In this episode, Renee shares her perspective on what it truly means to be a leader. Drawing from a formative childhood experience, she reflects on how standing up for what is right shaped her understanding of leadership as an act of service rather than authority. Through the conversation, Renee explores the importance of leading with empathy, protecting those who need support, and creating environments where people feel seen, heard, and valued.

Soldier, artist, and storyteller, Renee shares how a supportive family and an encouraging second-grade teacher helped shape her lifelong passion for art. For Renee, painting is about far more than a canvas—it begins with understanding each person's "why." Through prayer, meaningful conversation, and creating a sacred space, every portrait becomes a collaboration rooted in purpose, healing, and connection. She also shares the powerful encounters that forever changed the way she approaches her work.
