In the latest episode of To Lead is Human, our CEO Tim Brackney joins host Sharon Richmond for a candid conversation about leading a fast-growing, national accounting and advisory firm with heart.

For Tim, leadership isn’t just about the “Xs and Os” of the business—it’s about the people who make those plays possible. A lifelong student of teamwork (and a loyal Notre Dame fan!), he believes the real game is won through culture, trust, and staying true to your values.

“Before anything is done, you have to make sure there’s alignment—culturally and from a values perspective. Even if everything looks good on paper, if you don’t have cultural alignment, it won’t matter.”

Tim also shares how he’s helping Springline grow with intention, through transparency, gratitude, and a deep respect for the human side of business. 

Whether you’re leading through change, navigating a transaction, or simply trying to grow with greater purpose, this conversation will leave you inspired to lead a little more human.
