Kelley Earnhardt Miller & Alaina Money-Garman: Lead Differently to Drive Performance

What It's About

Kelley Earnhardt Miller kicks off the first day of IBS 2026 as our Game Changer speaker, joining forces with Alaina Money-Garman for a compelling conversation on how leadership and culture directly drive business performance. A true force in motorsports and business, Kelley leads JR Motorsports’ race teams, management, and business ventures, building championship-winning, multigenerational teams while driving strategic growth in one of the most competitive, high-pressure environments in sports. Bringing the conversation home to residential construction, Alaina offers a builder’s perspective on leading with intention inside a family-owned business. As founder of Garman Homes, she built a strong culture and respected brand by focusing on extraordinary people, exceptional customer service, and clarity of leadership — proving that trust, alignment, and culture aren’t soft ideas, but real drivers of productivity, profitability, and long-term growth. Together, they explore what it means to lead differently, and why leadership choices shape culture, culture shapes performance, and performance ultimately shows up on the bottom line.
