This week on Uncopyable Women in Business, I’m joined by Lieutenant General Karen Gibson. From decades in military intelligence to leading in one of the most high-profile roles in government, Karen’s journey is anything but ordinary.

We talk about what it means to be a “reluctant leader,” why she never chased titles, and how being asked to step up shaped her path. Karen shares what leadership really looks like—hint: it’s not about being the loudest in the room—and how her military background, cybersecurity expertise, and quiet confidence helped prepare her for the unexpected.

She also opens up about motherhood, mentorship, and the power of saying yes—even when it feels scary.

About Karen Gibson:

Karen Gibson is a former three-star Army general and combat veteran who served over 33 years in the U.S. Army, culminating her career as Deputy Director of National Intelligence. In 2021, following the January 6th attack on the Capitol, she was appointed Senate Sergeant at Arms—becoming one of only 42 people in U.S. history to hold that position. Karen has led intelligence operations across the globe, from Central Command to the coalition that dismantled ISIS’s caliphate. Today, she’s a keynote speaker and national security consultant, sharing hard-earned leadership lessons from the battlefield to the Capitol.

Feeling burned out in your business—or stuck in a corporate job that drains you?

In my latest Uncopyable Women in Business episode, I talk with Charity Brown, founder of The Happy CEO Method. Charity shares how she went from corporate burnout and back surgeries to building a thriving business using her “Four Ps” framework:

Power. Planning. Positioning. Profits.

We talk about:
– How to turn your experience into a profitable business
– The real reason confidence matters before you quit your 9–5
– How to attract clients without spinning your wheels
– Why doing the work before you're ready might be the smartest move

Charity also shares how she caught the attention of Kevin Harrington from Shark Tank—and how her method helps entrepreneurs create real momentum, even in midlife.

If you're ready to grow a business that aligns with your life—not the other way around—this conversation is for you.

What does Sherlock Holmes have to do with sales? Everything—if you want to truly connect with your customers and outsell your competition.

In this special replay from The Boss Lady in Sweatpants Show with Allison Scholes, I (Kay Miller, aka Muffler Mama) share the Uncopyable sales strategies that helped me become the #1 salesperson in a male-dominated industry. We explore how thinking like Sherlock—listening for clues, paying attention to details, and asking the right questions—can give you a serious edge in any sales conversation.

We cover:

• How to uncover what your customer really wants (and why it’s rarely about the product)
• The power of asking “Tell me more…” to build instant trust
• Why transformation—not features—sells
• How to make your personal brand Uncopyable and unforgettable

I also share the story behind my nickname Muffler Mama—and how installing a muffler helped me break through barriers and win respect.

Whether you’re selling online, offline, or just getting started, this episode is packed with practical ways to stand out in a noisy world.
