The Curiosity Current: A Market Research Podcast · 2025-10-21 · 25 min
Leadership reveals itself when pressure rises and calm feels far away. Few voices capture that balance of strength and empathy quite like Raina Rusnak, Head of Market Research and Business Intelligence at StarKist. In this Greatest Hits episode of The Curiosity Current, host Stephanie Vance revisits a conversation that blends science, self-awareness, and heart. Raina draws on her experience as a mountaineer and research leader to show how teamwork, communication, and reflection create both personal and professional resilience. She speaks about the “10-minute nature rule,” a simple daily ritual that sharpens focus and restores energy, and shares why leading well begins with understanding people before projects. This episode feels like a breath of fresh air for anyone navigating fast-paced, high-stakes work. It reminds us that leadership is not pushing harder but being the grounded abd human presence that guide others through the climb.
