Spiral Growth: The Career Strategy That Builds Real Leaders

Описание: In this insightful episode of Beyond the Ledger, I sit down with Brent Asavamonchai, a revenue growth executive who has helped shape some of the most recognizable brands in the airline and vacation industry — including the launch of Getaways by Southwest.

Brent shares the concept that defined his career: Spiral Growth — the idea that meaningful growth doesn’t always come from new titles, but from expanding responsibility, perspective, and leadership capacity within your role. From navigating mergers and integrations to building startups inside Fortune 500 companies, Brent explains how curiosity, relationships, and adaptability created long-term impact.

If you’re wondering how to grow into leadership, stand out without chasing titles, or develop people who are ready before the role is posted, this conversation breaks it all down with clarity, humility, and real-world experience.

🎧 Whether you’re a finance leader, growth executive, people manager, or aspiring leader, you’ll walk away with practical insight you can apply immediately.

👉 Topics include:
• What “Spiral Growth” really means — and how to pursue it
• Why every day on the job is your interview for the next role
• Building influence through relationships, not hierarchy
• Leading people through change, M&A, and transformation
• Developing leaders before they have the title
• Giving and receiving direct feedback the right way
• Balancing ambition, leadership, and life outside of work

🎯 Key Quote:
“Every day you’re working is your interview for the next job.”
