She taught me that gold isn’t just something you wear, it’s something you carry. She was born Annette Frances Kozak, baptized Frances Annette Kozak, and known throughout the bulk of her life as Frances Butler. But to those who loved her most, she was simply Baba. When Baba raised her family, she didn’t know she was shaping generations of leaders. Her resilience, humor, and bold sense of self became the foundation for lessons that reach far beyond the family table. In Always Wear Gold , Lindsay Smith weaves heartwarming stories from her grandmother’s life with timeless leadership lessons that apply at home, in business, and everywhere in between. Through laughter, loss, and a lifetime of traditions, Baba’s wisdom shines, reminding us that confidence, loyalty, and love can build legacies that last.

Inside, you’ll discover: • Resilience: How starting over can become your greatest strength. • Experiences: Why the moments you create become your lasting legacy. • Traditions: How simple rituals build loyalty, connection, and love. • Confidence: How to stand out, speak up, and always wear your gold. “I only need one pot." - Baba Lindsay Smith is an author, experience strategist, and storyteller who believes leadership begins with how we make people feel.
