Valor Coffee Podcast

Thanks for listening, following/subscribing and giving us a good review, it goes a long way <3
On this episode, we welcome a very special guest who has truly shaped Valor's company from the ground up, Karen Walters. Yes, Karen is the mother of Ross. BUT that's not the only reason she's on! Karen was a human resources manager for the Atlanta Falcons and the Arthur Blank Family of Businesses for YEARS, helping shape the culture that expanded from a small team to THOUSANDS of employees over her tenure. Karen is a genius on all things culture, mission, vision and values, and she shares some of that wisdom on this episode.
