ATLANTA, GA, November 4, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Sara Weathington has been recognized for achievement in recruitment and consulting.

Ms. Weathington is the founder and chief executive officer of Good Trouble, a consulting firm launched in 2026. The name honors her Georgia roots and the influence of Congressman John Lewis, and reflects her belief that questioning the status quo is both a necessity and a responsibility. Through Good Trouble, she advises leaders across industries on challenges ranging from macroeconomic strategy and customer engagement to mission statement development and capacity planning. The Good Trouble family includes a Delaware C corporation, a Georgia C corporation, and an LLC, all of which are aimed at restoring a sense of balance and order to the world.

Her consulting draws on a lifelong interest in history. She often begins with a simple question: What does the arc of an empire look like? A strategic thinker, she considers upstream and downstream users and weighs first-, second-, and third-order consequences before recommending a path.

Ms. Weathington is equally known for discretion. She has handled sensitive matters, including compensation and terminations, with confidentiality and care. Where recruiters are often stereotyped as poachers, she focuses on enticing talent and building long-lasting relationships, with a nuanced understanding of what truly motivates people to make and be the change they want to see in the world. In high-stakes negotiations, she takes a slow and steady approach, combining tactical skill with logistical and situational awareness.

She is also the founder and CEO of Golden Hour Social Club (2025), a national venture at the intersection of health and wellness x real estate x experiential third spaces. Initially conceived as a single yoga space focused on relaxation and meditation, the concept has evolved into a scalable platform for the wellness sector.

Before founding her companies, Ms. Weathington was the founding recruiter at Turquoise Health, an Andreessen Horowitz-backed startup, joining during its Series A. Over three years, she partnered with the head of people to build nearly the entire HR program as the company grew from 30 to nearly 180 employees in just over 34 months. She earned the trust of the C-suite, leveraged venture partners for talent support, and managed vendor contracts.

Before that, at unicorn startup Thirty Madison, she built the clinical recruiting team and hired more than 60 clinical providers in seven months. Earlier, as a recruitment coordinator at Boston Consulting Group, she owned relationships with MBA programs at Kellogg, Wharton, and Penn and with BCG offices in Denver, Dallas, Chicago, and Houston. Her career began in executive search at Egon Zehnder.

Her foundation is in public service, including legislative roles with the Georgia General Assembly and the Georgia Alliance of Community Hospitals from 2010 to 2014, and she carries that commitment into her community as a volunteer with Children's Healthcare of Atlanta's Baby Buddies Program, supporting local families. She holds a bachelor's degree in political science and government from the University of Georgia, the Credential of Readiness from Harvard Business School, and a grant writing certificate from Emory University.

At the heart of her practice is a belief in the individual story. Even when she cannot match every person to a role, her goal is for each to leave in a better place, whether with renewed hope for the job market, a new connection, or simply the experience of being heard.

She credits much of her growth to a tribe of questionable intellectuals and to leaders who were also exceptional teachers. Often women, these leaders paid staffers' power bills out of their own per diems, defended their teams and celebrated their work, and never forgot the details or the scented markers. The most important lesson she took from them was: do not be afraid.
