Teresa Schindlbeck
Teresa Schindlbeck joins Rush on Next Level Thinkers, the show for visionaries, innovators, and high performers shaping what comes next. With more than twenty-five years of building, scaling, leading, making mistakes, and starting over, Teresa has learned what actually matters when life refuses to stay inside the plan. One thing stayed with Rush: she loves being the dumbest person in the room, because she still wants to learn.
At forty-nine, she describes this next chapter of her life with one word, undiscovered. This is a conversation about self-worth, forgiveness, motherhood, leadership, broken trust, and rebuilding after divorce, along with curiosity, AI, and the shift from ambition to impact. Her story shows how experience can make you more discerning, more present, and more willing to ask better questions.
In this conversation
- Why she loves being the dumbest person in the room
