Jeannie Grimes: Leveling Up, Leadership, Boundaries, and Leaving Your Mark
Description
In this episode of Twin City Tales, host Wymond Wong sits down with Jeannie GO Grimes, author, speaker, founder of The Level Up Leader, and creator of the Level Up Leader movement, for a powerful conversation about leadership, growth, boundaries, service, and what it really takes to step into your next level. Jeannie shares her story of growing up in Minnesota, attending Spring Lake Park High School, spending a short season living in Arizona, and eventually coming back to Minnesota to finish high school. Her journey has taken her through different chapters of life, including years in corporate America with Medtronic, where she gained real-world experience in leadership, people, systems, and personal growth before stepping into a bigger calling of her own. Wymond and Jeannie talk about what leadership really looks like in everyday life. This conversation goes beyond titles, positions, and job descriptions. It gets into the choices people make, the example they set, the courage it takes to grow, and the responsibility that comes with leading yourself before you lead others. Jeannie also shares her belief in consistent philanthropy, volunteer work, and showing up for the community in meaningful ways. For her, leadership is not just about personal success. It is about using your gifts, your voice, and your experience to help others find the courage to move forward in their own lives. A major theme in this episode is boundaries. Jeannie is a strong advocate for protecting your boundaries, knowing what you are called to do, and understanding that leveling up often requires sacrifice. As she explains through her message, when you grow into a new version of yourself, you may not be able to carry everything from the old version with you. To level up, you may have to release habits, comfort zones, relationships, expectations, or patterns that no longer match where you are going. This episode also highlights Jeannie’s book, Level the F Up*, which began as an outline in 2013 and later became something she felt called to write and pass on to others. The book centers around Faith, Foundation, and Fortitude, and invites readers to stop playing small, rebuild with intention, and lead their lives with clarity, confidence, and purpose. At its heart, this conversation is about becoming. It is about listening to the calling on your life, doing the work, serving others, protecting your peace, and having the courage to step into the next level even when it costs you something.
