Cindy Maude bought an agency with a million-dollar bank loan, moved it from Topeka to Lawrence, built it into a nationally respected shop, and then watched her biggest client, representing 44% of the revenue, walk out the door. That didn’t deter her. She went to work and rebuilt the agency. Over a 27-year run with Hill's Pet Nutrition and national work with Toyota, Sprint, and Build-A-Bear, Cindy turned Callahan Creek into proof that a focused, research-driven independent could go toe-to-toe with the holding company giants. In this episode, she sits down with Sam and Mike to talk about the decisions that mattered, the culture she built by design, and what it really takes to lead with both instinct and resolve.
