Making Maverick Moves premieres February 24, 2025, as Gina L. Osborn highlights bold leaders like LAFD Chief Kristin Crowley, who challenge the status quo under intense pressure.
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Gina L. Osborn is thrilled to announce the launch of her podcast, Making Maverick Moves, premiering on February 24, 2025. Formerly known as Lead Like a Lady, the new series will delve into the bold decisions and unconventional paths taken by extraordinary leaders who redefine success and break boundaries on their own terms.
"Making Maverick Moves isn't just another inspiration-driven podcast; it's a deep dive into bold leadership," said Gina L. Osborn, host and founder of the podcast. "We celebrate those who are breaking the mold and making decisions that challenge the status quo. We want to change the narrative for today's leaders who push through fear, take audacious risks, and make extraordinary things happen."
The debut episode will feature Kristin Crowley, the first female Chief of the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD). Just before the devastating wildfires swept through Los Angeles, Gina sat down with Chief Crowley to discuss a maverick move she was making, one rooted in the reality of operating a fire department with limited resources. Little did Gina know that within a month and a half of the recorded interview, Chief Crowley's words would take on an even deeper significance. As fires ravaged communities like Pacific Palisades, reservoirs ran dry, fire hydrants failed, and lives were changed forever, Chief Crowley faced intense criticism in the aftermath, particularly for publicly addressing her department's three years of budget cuts.
This episode is a rare and urgent time capsule, capturing Chief Crowley's intent and foresight before the fires, a perspective that was largely overshadowed once the disaster struck. It's a powerful, real-time look at leadership, accountability, and what it takes to make a Maverick Move under extreme pressure.
"Chief Crowley exemplifies what it means to make a maverick move," Osborn added. "Her courage to stand up for what's right, despite the personal and professional consequences, is the very definition of leadership under pressure. I'm thrilled to share her story with our listeners and to inspire them to take their own maverick moves."
The first three episodes of Making Maverick Moves will be available on all major podcast platforms on February 24, 2025. Listen wherever you get your podcasts, and to learn more about Gina, visit www.ginalosborn.com
