Chutzpah is a playful term for being exceedingly confident or daring in pursuing your goals. Is chutzpah something you can learn or is it something you have to be born with?
In today’s episode, we are joined by Mason Harris. He is known as ‘The Chutzpah Guy’. Mason shares a story of how to acquire chutzpah and pursue the aspirations that will astound you that result in an inevitable success!
Mason Harris is a DC-area native transplanted from New York City and is the middle child of Eastern European immigrants. He grew up in a working-class neighborhood in Queens and feels like he was privileged to be "born with a plastic spoon in my mouth."
Mason learned early on that America is the land of opportunity, and that success has two critical components: education (formal or street) and chutzpah. As an entrepreneur, he is fortunate to have had both "successes" and "lesser successes," also known as "failures” to learn from. The Chutzpah Guy enjoys sharing his rules of Chutzpah, especially to paying clients and others willing to speak about themselves.
Tune in now and embrace your inner Chutzpah!

“Our body is very clever, it sends us the signs and signals all the time.” -Petra Lawes The secret to a healthy body is to pay attention to what it says. Simply ask yourself, "How do you feel right now?" What you do with the answers you receive could make all the difference in living a healthy and joyful life.
In today’s episode of Your Panther Pitch, we are joined by Petra Lawes, Ph.D. She is a development-oriented coach, facilitator, and systems thinker. As a well-published cancer researcher, Petra focused on identifying markers in signaling pathways leading to dysfunctional organs, resulting in unhealthy systems. In her leadership roles, she recognized this same process between individuals and teams and their impact on the organization. This ignited her passion for working with leaders, teams, and systems to co-create the healthy, interdependent signals they need to achieve their desired results.
As a professionally certified coach (PCC) and graduate of Georgetown University’s Leadership Coaching program, Petra has successfully partnered with numerous clients and colleagues in the healthcare and academic settings to support developing effective leaders, teams, interdisciplinary initiatives, and tangible culture changes. Through her leadership and faculty roles in Georgetown University’s Health & Wellness Coaching certification and Virginia’s SYNC programs, Petra emphasizes developing the coach approach and increasing our individual and leadership capacities to transform the health of individuals, teams, and their systems. Petra holds a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology and Genetics, is co-inventor on a patent, and has multiple publications in peer-reviewed journals. In 2005, she was named “Woman of the Year – Forward Thinker” by Glamour magazine and Toyota.
