“Resilience isn’t about never falling — it’s about getting up one more time than you fall.”

🎙️ Episode Summary
In this inspiring episode of the Security Circle Podcast, Yolanda sits down with Connie Moorehead, CEO of the CMOOR Group, trailblazer, and lifelong mentor in the security industry. Connie opens up about her journey from being underestimated and dismissed — even called “sugar tits” in the early days — to becoming a respected leader driving change across security, fire, and life safety.

Together, they explore the power of resilience (“fall down seven times, get up eight”), the importance of male allies and mentorship, and why confidence is built not by never failing, but by weathering storms and learning from them. Connie also shares how her fierce independence and passion for giving back fuel her leadership and inspire the next generation of women in security.

This episode is packed with hard truths, bold insights, and plenty of inspiration for anyone navigating challenges in their career — whether you’re just starting out or leading from the front.
