About this listen

 In this Season 4 episode of Connecting with Purpose, Mark Griffin sits down with Sara Jensen, CEO and co-founder of Hugh & Grace, to explore how vulnerability becomes a leadership advantage and how purpose fuels sustained performance at scale. Sara shares the defining moments that shaped her leadership identity, from navigating 14 years of unexplained infertility to making high-stakes decisions under pressure while building one of the fastest-growing mission-driven wellness companies in the U.S. This conversation goes beyond origin stories and into the real work of leadership: holding belief when outcomes are uncertain, making disciplined decisions during rapid growth, and building teams and communities that perform because they're deeply aligned with purpose. In this episode, we explore: —Why vulnerability is not a weakness but a performance multiplier —How purpose provides clarity during pressure-filled growth phases —The leadership decisions behind Hugh & Grace's sustainable scale —Building trust, alignment, and belief across teams and communities —What it takes to perform at a high level without losing what matters most Sara's journey is a powerful reminder that high performance doesn't come from control or certainty, but from identity, alignment, and trust — especially when the stakes are high. If you're a founder or leader navigating growth, complexity, and pressure, this episode offers a grounded perspective on how purpose-led leadership drives meaningful, lasting results.
