Episode Overview
In this episode, I talk with Marilise de Villiers. She is the founder and CEO of ROAR Coaching and Consulting. She’s a mover and shaker in the cybersecurity space and is changing the current landscape. She believes that people are the greatest asset when it comes to keeping organisations and society safe. Her approach is to coach and support cybersecurity executives on the design and delivery of effective people and behavioural change strategies.
Through her consulting, training and coaching she is on a mission to create high performing cultures. Integral to this work is her conviction that the workplace today is in dire need of more kindness, clarity and engagement around a common vision in order to deliver world class results. Looking past our differences and seeing the good in others can make our working lives a lot happier, more fulfilling, productive and profitable.
Marilise’s one-to-one clients usually come to her when they are facing challenging situations at work that seem unsolvable. They feel isolated and alone and are simply tired of firefighting; they need a simple approach that will help them take back control. Working with Marilise brings clarity on the person they wish to become and the legacy they wish to leave behind.

Favorite quotes of the episode:
“Most people are saying, ‘Once I get to someplace other than right now, I’ll be happy.’ And that’s where our suffering comes from.”
“The key to life is the ability to be able to stay centered with all of it.”
“Be an observer of your mind.”
“Discomfort is nothing more than an inner vibration…and I don’t have to make that feeling go away.”
“Pain is part of life, suffering is a choice.”
Episode Overview
In this episode, I talk with Joanna Kleinman from Dethroning Your Inner Critic to discuss how to dethrone our inner critics!
She is a licensed psychotherapist, a national workshop leader, and best-selling author with more than 22 years of experience working in private practice with clients both locally and all over the world via zoom.
She created the online transformational program called “Dethroning Your Inner Critic™, and podcast. It is an approach that centers around her groundbreaking M.I.N.D Method, which consists of examining the habitual and conditioned thoughts and beliefs in our minds that have been playing on a repetitive loop for our whole lives and are as transparent as breathing.
She teaches clients to rewire the automatic hardwiring in their minds, not by changing the conditioned thoughts, but by breaking the habit of giving energy and attention to the conditioned thoughts and beliefs.
The M.I.N.D Method is one-of-a-kind and its foundation is guided by the unconventional idea that you don’t need a lifetime to learn, master, and then change the processes of the mind.
Most people try to change the external circumstances of their lives in order to think and feel the contentment and satisfaction they desire. Her methods focus on changing from the inside out. This is the type of transformation that leads you to ‘waking up’ and viewing the world in a different way.

Favorite quotes of the episode:
“If you are worried about getting mRNA injected into your body, remember, that’s what viruses do, they replicate their genetic material billions of times in your cells.
You are going to meet the RNA one way or another, the question is, do you want to meet 1% of the virus in a vaccine or do you want to meet 100% of it? The question is do you want to meet the whole tiger or just its tail.”
“If you are healthy and have gotten your booster by Thanksgiving or Christmas time, I think you are in a pretty good position to travel.”
“The risk for catching the virus really is the air exchange whether you are in a building or in a plane.”
“In the vaccine world, it’s almost unheard of to get a side-effect with a second or third dose in adults.”

Episode Overview
In this episode, I talk with Michelle Reines.
Michelle is a speaker, author, coach, entrepreneur, founder of MDR Coaching & Consulting, Inc., and creator of the unconventional Badass Leader brand.
The people-part can be the most challenging for many leaders. It certainly was for Michelle. Her wake-up call came in the form of a cataclysmic leadership failure. She very quickly learned to appreciate the profound impact an unconscious leader has on people and teams became abundantly clear, as did the critical importance and necessity for her to immediately begin evolving as a leader.
This painfully humbling experience (#TheSuck) set the course correction for what would become a lifelong hunger for leadership growth and contribution—a self-prescribed reparation in many ways, shared through her 12 Leadership Lessons.
Michelle looks forward to sharing her thrills of victory and agonies of defeat, with a goal of supporting others in unlocking the art of leading like a Badass!

Favorite quotes of the episode:
“Coaching was driving measurable outcomes, not only for patients but also helping clinicians.”
“The average interruption time for clinicians is 11 seconds. It’s been studied 7 times and every time it’s studied, we interrupt [patients] quicker. Only 10% of the time we do a teach-back to ensure patient understanding… and miss empathic opportunities about 90% of the time.”
“…and I realized at that moment, that medicine is an extraordinary, purposeful instrument that occasionally, diagnoses, treats, and cures disease.”
“The knowing to doing gap is a chasm, and effective organizations bridge the gap.”
“You can’t manage complex systems with complexity, they have to self-organize around simple principles that are easy to advocate for.”
“To be a champion, you have to take action to make the things around you better.”

He brings over 20 years of management consulting experience in the healthcare industry with extensive expertise in process improvement programs and technology across the entire revenue cycle.

In 2007, he developed a business intelligence solution and founded Interpoint Partners, LLC, where he served as Chairman and CEO.

5 Questions Segment
Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? The first thing I do is set my morning intentions and give myself 15 minutes to sit without technology, to meditate, say a prayer, and center myself for the day.
Q2. What's your definition of Success? You grow when your opportunities exceed your capabilities. Be in a career where you want to stretch yourself and continue to learn and grow. Another big piece is balance, there’s more to life than just work.
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? It’s realizing that I’m perfect the way I am.
Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? You control actions you don’t control outcomes and learning to listen more and speak less. I can be equally or more effective without traveling. Realizing that what I thought I was supposed to do wasn’t what I needed to do.
Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? Practice slowing down. It’s not true that the harder you work the better the outcomes you are going to get. The other thing is balance between personal and professional life. You don’t have to work a 10-hour day. What does 5 hours of productive time look like?

5 Questions Segment
Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? I’m a night owl, so I rely on an evening routine. I make a personal and professional list. We are mindful of people’s time and stick to a schedule. I don’t multitask. I practice ‘just this and then’ so I bring my full self to each project. I also give myself some time and space in areas where I need it.
Q2. What's your definition of Success? For me, mindfulness is the key to success for me. Someone once shared with me there are three versions of life, the almost, the most and the utmost so I’m always striving for the utmost life. Live in the accomplishments vs. surviving the hours.
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? Happiness is helping people find that spark inside of them.
Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? For my personal life I would say that I’m the only person who sets the limits on my life. In my business, I would say that emotional decisions make you weak. There’s a certain level that needs to be involved but it can’t govern decision making.
Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? You are either making decisions that are building or destroying.

5 Questions Segment
Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? I go to sleep at 9 each night and I get up at 3 am, I spend time on the elliptical and then I meditate, and I start meetings at about 8 am.
Q2. What's your definition of Success? Success is really personal, for me, it’s accomplishing goals that I’ve set.
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? The word that comes to mind is content. We can’t have the "then I’ll be happy" mindset. For me, it’s learning to be content and enjoy the journey.
Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? I wish I would have spent more time educating myself across the board, in things in general. Taking every opportunity to learn.
Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? Time! Time to educate themselves especially around finances setting themselves up for a financial future.

Episode Overview
In this episode, I talk with Melissa Washington. Melissa is a Navy Veteran and the CEO and Founder of Women Veterans Alliance. She is a disabled veteran small business owner, speaker, entrepreneur, author, and award winner who is connecting women veterans across the nation.
Melissa proudly served in the Navy and rather than shoulder the burden of a dual-service family, she decided to leave the military early to pursue a career while her husband spent 21 years on active duty in the United States Marine Corps. She earned her bachelor’s degree in business management and transitioned into a successful career in recruiting and human resources for more than 10 years working for both boutique agencies and global Fortune 500 companies.
Melissa was laid off from her job in 2009 due to a failing economy, marking the beginning of a nearly two-year journey and career reinvention that allowed her to use her experience to help others. It all started with holding LinkedIn workshops for job seekers at her dining room table then speaking at venues across the nation. In 2011, she started Melissa Washington, Inc. which offers consulting services to businesses and individuals using LinkedIn for researching, recruiting, job seeking and collaborating. Her journey, took a little detour for 4 years as she worked at LinkedIn, planning Global Corporate Meetings & Events. In 2014 she authored Get Back to Work: Smart & Savvy Real-World Strategies to Make Your Next Career Move.
5 Questions Segment

Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? It’s a mindset, just having that joy.
Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? 11 years ago I was unemployed, I shouldn’t have worried so much or put so much into that because it all turned out fine.
Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? Not Enough Time! I don’t mean it’s not enough time, but how could we effectively utilize our time and be strategic in purpose. We make time for what we want to make time for.

Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? My Shiba Inu (dog), Simba is a big part of my morning routine. I’m an early riser, I start my morning sending out emails, getting my workout in, and walking my dog. That’s the 20-30 minutes every morning no matter what, that I can disconnect and be really introspective and thoughtful about my calendar. Be a student of my calendar and prioritize what's most important.
Q2. What's your definition of Success? For me, professional success is when you reach a point where what you have accomplished allows you to positively impact those who come behind you.
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? When you are grateful for everything that you have. That you wake up, a home to live in, food to eat when you can be grateful for everything you have.

In this episode, I ask Ed Eichhorn my five questions. Ed is a successful healthcare executive and entrepreneur. Who consults for medical societies and healthcare organizations through his company Medilink Consulting Group.
He is the co-author of Healing American Healthcare, a book that describes a universal healthcare plan for the United States that would actually save our country $1 trillion per year. Ed
recently founded the Healing American Healthcare Coalition to keep healthcare professionals informed on important research and industry news.
5 Questions Segment
Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? I make a plan for the day. I usually have 5 or 6 things I want to do. I do a little bit of research in the morning and when the weather is nice every Thursday I play golf.
Q2. What's your definition of Success? I think success comes from being passionate about what you care about. It’s not monolithic, my relationships with my family and associate are all important to me and it’s about life balance.
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? I think balance and doing the things you love to do.
Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? I wish I would have known more about social media and how it works earlier on.
Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? If they are happy with where they are, keep doing it. If they need to make a change, they need to have the resolve and courage to make that change.

Favorite quotes of the episode:
“We need to fix the bureaucracy of healthcare. We spend 14% just on the billing and collection in the U.S. That’s more than $1000 for every family of four in the US. In Japan, for example, they spend less than 3% or $59 on billing. We need to reduce the bureaucracy and fix costs so that we can improve outcomes.”
“62% of bankruptcies in America are due to healthcare costs.”
“Medical bills are often wrong around 15% of the time.”

In this episode, I talk with Bea Boccalandro. Bea is the author of Do Good At Work: How Simple Acts of Social Purpose Drive Success and Wellbeing, which was selected by three-time New York Times bestselling author Adam Grant as a top-30 new book. She is also president of VeraWorks, a global consulting firm specializing in workplace purpose.

Her presentations across over 100 countries and teaching at Georgetown University and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, have inspired tens of thousands of people to make their work more meaningful.
5 Questions Segment
Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? I prepare a cup of tea and that ritual works beautifully because I recognize the marvel of it. Soon, I’m holding that warm cup of good fortune.
Q2. What's your definition of Success? Is that you are missed when you are not with people who know you because your presence is a bright and noticeable warm light.
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? Being free of the ego, it’s the part of us that is self-serving.
Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? It took me 10 years to write my book. I really made myself miserable for not making fast enough progress. I wish I would have known that a deadline is irrelevant just keep showing up for the work, that’s what’s important.
Once it’s out there it’s not even really your book anymore, it belongs to the world.
Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? Workday sleepwalking. A lot of us go through our emails and do our life’s work, half asleep.

Favorite quotes of the episode:
“Food is everywhere; it is the easiest way to attempt to escape.”
“It’s not about being the food police and perfectionists; it’s about the energy and the stories we attach to our food choices.”
Episode Overview
In this episode, I talk with Jessica Procini. Jessica is on a mission to help high-achieving women heal the roots of their emotional eating so they can use food as fuel rather than a way to cope, soothe and attempt to escape their busy, stressful life.
From over a decade of research and her own personal emotional eating journey, Jessica consciously created her uniquely effective Escape From Emotional Eating® process and programs because Overeaters Anonymous didn't resonate with her, and the 932 hours she spent in therapy never helped her end her fight with food.
Jessica knew there needed to be a different kind of support, one that got to the roots of her emotional eating.
Jessica and her work have received awards from the Institute of Psychology of Eating three years in a row. She has appeared in various media outlets such as ABC, CBS, and MindBodyGreen, just to name a few.
TOPICS
- Emotional Eating is the dirty secret of successful women.
- How emotional eating blocks women from reaching higher levels of success.
- Is stress eating just another way of numbing ourselves out and sabotaging our success?
- How do we know if we are sabotaging our success even though we are supposed to have it all together as otherwise successful professionals?

5 Questions Segment
Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success?
I set my day up by doing the hardest stuff first. I love to prioritize my day based on intensity, energy, and what’s that big rock that I can knock off the list first.
Q2. What's your definition of Success?
Success for me is my drug of choice when it comes to my work, it’s really about making an impact is what makes me happy professionally and not forgetting to be grateful. Ability to pivot quickly and find a new way to make an impact.
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? Friends, Family, Adventure, Home, Food, Fun.
Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? To attack fear head-on and spend as much time as possible outside of my comfort zone. As Branson says, "Say yes and then figure out how."
I’ve learned to embrace the jitters and reframe them as butterflies of excitement. Attack those fears right away.
Possibility lives outside your comfort zone not inside. It’s fun to grow and expand and continue to evolve.
Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today?
Enjoying the journey is something I don’t see enough of. They are so caught up in the minutia and pain points and we need to enjoy the journey and not forget about our wellbeing.
Play hard, enjoy the journey and stay in a place of gratitude.

I got up at 5:30 today and I just take a minute and check in with myself, what is my heart, my gut telling me? Am I Centered, Open, Resilient, and Energized? It’s time for prayer. Then I’ll have coffee, go for a walk, some exercise and listen to some music or with an app. Journaling and remain open to ideas.
Q2. What's your definition of Success? Being happy and feeling fulfilled. It may not come naturally as we are often hard on ourselves. We need people around us to see the good stuff and to be in a place of gratitude.
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? Happiness does not depend on circumstances or happenings. You can choose happiness. Happiness for me is a sense of wellbeing and joy where my heart is light.
Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? I was fearless but not very cautious 10 years ago. The naivety caused me some hardships and lost contracts, I would be a little bit savvier and holding a little back and playing my cards right. Learning to say, "Let me think about that."
Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? Burnout. The burnout crisis was the pandemic before the pandemic.

Favorite quotes of the episode:
“I was so dissatisfied being an employee, that I felt I needed to take the wheel of my life, the wheel of my career versus leaving it someone else’s hands.”

“You can only play the shot you’re on. You can just focus on the now.”
“An entrepreneur alone is an entrepreneur at risk.”
“Hire for DNA not for Resume.”

Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? We aren’t putting ourselves first. Why wait? Look around, start taking care of yourself today. You have to put yourself first to stop and prevent burnout and lead by example for your kids and grandkids.

Favorite quotes of the episode:
“Good leaders want their people to tell them the hard truths.”
“Leaders communicate frequently and honestly with their employees.”
“It’s not about strategic planning, it’s just strategic to plan.”

Episode Overview
In this episode, I talk with Kathy Bowman Atkins. Kathy helps CEOs and business leaders set the course for their businesses.
Kathy spent the first couple of decades of her career in Fortune 500 companies, where she was known for her strong interpersonal skills and ability to build consensus among groups to handle complex business challenges. She has created and led teams that excelled in strategic thinking, business planning, communications, culture change, transition management, and personal leadership.
Her no-nonsense approach, combined with her unique talent for asking tough questions, get to the heart of the matter quickly. Business leaders hire her and her team when they are ready for true change.
She doesn’t provide the cookie-cutter, feel good, run of the mill strategic advice. She warns her clients upfront; be ready to do some hard work and soul searching. She has perfected the processes for change, and she does something most consultants don’t—follow up and follow
through. Her clients will tell you their businesses thrived as a result of working with her. They got clarity—and also the tools they needed to see where their businesses could go.

Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? Peace of mind is when everything is aligned with my integrity, values and ethics.

Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? I think it’s two issues. Not taking the time to figure out what’s important and not taking the time for what’s important.

Favorite quotes of the episode:
“It really comes down to trust in yourself.”
“The real economy is massive, it’s 50% of GDP and it’s over 90% of the private sector workforce and yet it’s completely detached from global capital.”
“Left or Right, actually, everybody wants the same things. Everybody wants the best for their family and the best for their children, but it’s become so polarized, you are just pigeonholed as one of them and that’s not conducive for debate or solving problems.”

5 Questions Segment
Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? I live between three countries and in each house, I have different routines. I get up and get the kids ready for school then I work, try to get all of my work done by 11 am or 12 pm, and then go work out.
Q2. What's your definition of Success? For me, it’s freedom, the ability to choose how my day is laid out.
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? The cliche answer is wanting what you have not having what you want. I do have a list of what I’d like to own and that motivates me to do more.
Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? I’m a self-taught merger and acquisitions guy and you are learning all the time and reinventing yourself all the time. I think growing up has really helped and a few good failures have really helped me to be more humble and been a useful life lesson.
Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? Balance, this freedom I talked about. People are obsessed with working hard and you can be a busy fool. I’ve genuinely noticed there is an inverse correlation between working hard and wealth.

Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success?

My evening routine is more practical. I write three high potential actions that will move the needle on my business the most and I try to do those the following morning. It’s a very simple plan, but if I do those three things, I’ll feel very good about what I accomplished that day. Before I go to sleep I think of five things I’m proud of.
Q2. What's your definition of Success? To make a difference that is in alignment with my truth.

Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? Saying no. Saying no to people trampling boundaries, too many choices… and saying no to more, more, more, more.

Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? I set my alarm in the morning to go off every 8 minutes and every 8 minutes I’m doing something different. I check in with myself, then pray or read the bible, then I have a cup of coffee with my husband. On my way to work, I fill my time with resources that are important to me, podcasts, or a book I want to listen to.
Q2. What's your definition of Success? Success is a process, it’s a mindset growth. Personal and professional growth, it doesn’t have to be all about thriving, it’s also about getting back up.
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? Happiness is fleeting but joy is deep and meaningful. What makes me happy is when my kids are proud of me. When my husband supports me. When I am inspired and I’m able to be creative.
Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? That the dreams I had as a little girl matter. Self-validation matters, when you can accept yourself and validate yourself and also see what God says about you, that is what I wish I would have known 10 years ago.
Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? I think it’s two-fold. I think it’s time management and distraction.

Favorite quotes of the episode:
“Happiness for me is an inside job.”
“I decided to become a lawyer because I have an advocate’s heart.”
“This is a way to advocate for people’s rights, this is a way to get justice.”
“We have an immigration system that needs to be overhauled, it’s long past due and we are in unprecedented times. The immigration law we have right now was passed in 1952.”
Episode Overview
In this episode, I talk with Donusia Lipinski. For over 33 years, Donusia has been working with immigrants, their families, the employers who hire them and agricultural and seasonal employers.
Donusia is the CEO and founder of Myrtle Beach Immigration Law Office. As a long-time member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, a nonpartisan national organization, Donusia served on the Board of Governors, and also worked as an Associate Director of Advocacy. Donusia has been recognized locally and nationally as a passionate advocate on behalf of immigrants and the dire need for changes in our immigration laws to meet the demands of the global economy.
More recently, Donusia’s passion has turned to being a transformational change agent to those who feel their lives have lost meaning or purpose and who are going through the motions of life, rather than living a life they would really love living. As a certified DreamBuilder Coach with the Brave Thinking Institute and Certification as a High Performance Coach through the High-Performance Institute, Donusia focuses on helping people create a vision of the life they would love living in their health and well-being, their relationships, their vocation, and in time and money freedom. Her clients learn to live from their vision, with clarity, and in alignment with their true heart’s desire.
Donusia earned her J.D. from Golden Gate University in 1983 and is licensed in Colorado and California. Prior to becoming a lawyer, Donusia was an autoworker and an elementary education teacher. It was her work as an autoworker that propelled her to go to law school.

Favorite quotes of the episode: “Two people in a relationship with different attachment styles is like playing a board game with two different sets of rules.”
“This isn’t a diagnosis, it’s a subconscious set of rules we have for relating.”
“Our attachment style can always change, it’s reprogrammable through new neural pathways.”
“The subconscious is programmed through repetition plus emotion.”
Episode Overview
In this episode, I talk with Thais Gibson. Thais is an author, speaker, and co-creator of the Personal Development School. She is extremely passionate about personal growth, the subconscious mind, and connecting with others. With an MA and over 13 different certifications ranging from CBT Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to hypnosis, Thais strives to continuously learn and grow.
She is best known for her contributing work and research on Attachment Theory and the impact of attachment trauma on our adult romantic relationships. She overlaps attachment trauma challenges with personal core wounds, limiting beliefs and emotional patterns at the subconscious level to give us deeper insight into ourselves and our relationships.
Her book, The Attachment Theory Guide, was written on this topic and her Youtube channel often focuses on educating people on how to subconsciously reprogram this area of their lives.
After overcoming her own challenges with addiction in her early years, Thais is profoundly determined to educate people on how they can reprogram painful or limiting programs in their own mind. She is focused on helping people retrain their brain to achieve relationship fulfillment, abundance, and personal freedom in their lives.
TOPICS
- The difference between a limiting belief and a limiting program.
- The four attachment styles.
- How our early childhood experiences with attachment affect our subconscious minds.
- How we can retrain our mind to transform any limiting program in each of the seven areas of life.
- How busy professionals can use this knowledge to get closer to that ever-elusive work-life balance.
5 Questions Segment
Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? I meditate every morning for 20 minutes. Then I spend 5-10 minutes journaling and setting my intentions for the day. In the evening I spend another hour before bed, twenty minutes meditating, and 40 minutes journaling with anything that I want to focus on and fine-tune.
Q2. What's your definition of Success? My definition of success is happiness! What brings you joy in your life. What do you want to create in the seven areas of your life? Then when you are taking action and you feel fulfilled then you know you are in success because your emotions are giving you that feedback.
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? My definition of happiness or fulfillment is when we are really clear about what our personal needs are and they are being met, our cups are full.
Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? I wish I would have known a little bit earlier to be more compassionate and gentle towards myself.
Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? You can be so focused on the mindset of achievement and getting ahead that you can lose a little bit of the relationship to yourself. If we don’t take time to care for ourselves then eventually we are forced to take time away from our career to give time to your physical health that has been neglected, or to your relationships that are falling apart. Balance across all seven areas of life is key to having long term success.

5 Questions Segment
Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? In the evening, I enjoy sitting out in the backyard with our 5-year-old boxer named Arlo and throwing his flying squirrel (toy) over and over and over again for him. It’s quite meditative, actually.
Q2. What's your definition of Success? For me, success is recognizing that I’ve inspired a change that lasts and reaches beyond my own reality or sphere of existence. Having made a difference in the world that lasts outside of yourself, to me, that’s a success.
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? For me, happiness is about contentment and feeling generally good about where you are in life. Enjoying the moment, enjoying the people around you, and taking pleasure in just being there.
Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? I’ve really come to appreciate the work that you all do in the military. It’s been a real pleasure to get to know the people behind the uniforms. I used to be intimidated to talk to people in uniform and now I enjoy it so much, I wish I would have known 10 years ago not to be so worried about having those conversations.
And my silly answer is that ten years ago I wish I would have known that you don’t have to wear heels to conferences!
Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today?
Creating space and enjoyment in the little moments in life. In the long term managing the frustration that can build up when we realize that the projects and tasks we take on always take longer to complete than we anticipate.

This week, I talk with John Stoj about personal finance around navigating life, career transitions, and being a stay at home dad! We discuss how to find a personal investor and the questions to ask in order to keep more of your money in your pocket.
Favorite quotes of the episode: “The first question you should ask is, ‘How are you paid?’ Something like 85% of advisors don’t even list how they are paid, so it’s very opaque. The second question is, ‘How much in total advisory fees and investment costs will I pay?’”
“The most important thing is saving, investing, planning your financial life versus picking a stock, or a set of stocks.”
“Simply being invested in the market can contribute up to 84% of your returns over time.”
Episode Overview
In this episode, I talk with John Stoj. After years of climbing the Wall Street corporate ladder, John, a financial advisor became disillusioned with false promises of outperforming the market. He eventually started a sushi delivery company only to return to his first love – financial planning. But this time, things are different. With Verbatim Financial, John’s gone rogue with his pricing model and is applying his decades of experience & personal touch to help clients simplify their financial lives. John believes sincerely that, done well and delivered fairly, good financial advice is more valuable than its cost and worth buying. Unfortunately, he knows first-hand that banks, broker-dealers, insurance companies, etc. do not have their customers’ best interests in mind – they have their profits in mind.
TOPICS
- What was it like to go from managing an investment portfolio of almost $4billion, being wined and dined by wall street, to starting your own business and becoming an entrepreneur then transitioning again to be a stay at home dad?
- Career Transitions and re-entering the workforce.
- How can small business owners defend themselves against wall street while still getting professional financial advice without breaking the bank?
- What are some things to watch out for when looking to hire a financial advisor for individuals and for small businesses?
- Fee-only, fiduciary, assets under management, passive vs. active management, and what do these terms mean?
- John Bogel’s philosophy and how it applies now.
5 Questions Segment
Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? It’s our coffee! The alarm goes off at about 4:40 every morning, I make the coffee, and my wife and I watch 30 minutes of mindless TV in the morning before she heads into the hospital for work.
Q2. What's your definition of Success? If I’m helping folks and I’m contributing in some fashion and I’m getting paid for it, that’s my definition of success.
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? My definition of happiness is not needing to worry about my family.
Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? I wish I would have known the markets would have recovered as quickly as they did. I would not have left the markets or gone conservative.
Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? Work-Life Balance!

Shaunestte brings years of experience prosecuting crimes of rape, child molest, human trafficking, and other crimes against protected persons.
As the sole Deputy Prosecutor handling sex trafficking in Indianapolis, Shaunestte frequently participated in undercover investigations which she then prosecuted in state court or referred to the United States Attorney’s Office.
Considered the subject matter expert in sexual assault and domestic violence for Indiana’s 91 elected Prosecuting Attorneys, Shaunestte developed state-wide prosecutor-based preventive law programs and developed curriculums for trial advocacy and substantive courses specific to these subject matters.
Shaunestte served as Chairperson of the Indiana Sexual Assault Response Team Advisory Council, Chairperson of the Governor’s Council on Domestic Violence Prevention & Treatment, on the Indiana Supreme Court’s Domestic Violence Advisory Council, and the Indiana Protection for Abused and Trafficked Humans Task Force, amongst others.
She’s also the host of the Support for Survivors Podcast.

5 Questions Segment
Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? I’m an evening person so when I leave the office at night I make sure I have my list of priorities for the next day. Once I get into the office, I get my coffee, I do a morning meditation, then I get to work on that list of priorities.
Q2. What's your definition of Success? For me, I think success is just trying to figure out what you love to do and then be your very best at that.
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? I think it centers around two things, an overall sense of purpose and wellbeing of your life, the big picture items, and then some of the more fleeting emotions, joy, and contentment, and it’s going to ebb and flow throughout life.
Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? How little it really matters what anyone else thinks about you. Your own opinion is the most important.
Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? Work-Life balance can be extremely difficult. It can be really easy for work to take over and you need to do what you need to do to recharge.

Favorite quotes of the episode: “We’ve lost the ways of living that were based on these deep human elemental wisdom, and we’ve almost veered away from that basic wisdom so far that we’ve gone into toxic beliefs.”
“We can see really clearly the interconnectedness from looking at the natural world how everything is connected.”
“How do we create a workplace that’s of benefit to everyone in the workplace?”
“What would it look like in your life to slow down? [Ten years ago,] I wish I knew that slowing down would bring me more joy.”
“And that’s what I want to teach people, that slowing down doesn’t mean that what you are doing has to fall apart, in fact, it just makes it better.”

Favorite quotes of the episode: “Let go of perfectionism, mix it up, make it work for you, take full advantage of anything that is going to cut down your time and stress.”
“For me, success is about having a sense that I’m pushing myself and I’m growing, that I’m not shying away from things that I’m scared of.”
“Being mindful about our food. In its simplest form, being mindful means being aware of when we are hungry and honoring our hunger when we can. Being mindful when you are starting to get full, being mindful when you are full, and then stopping eating at that time and hopefully having satiety because you’ve eaten something that you really like.”
“Yo-yo dieting is what can disrupt your internal hunger regulatory system.”
“Intuitive eating is recognizing hunger-fullness-satiety.”

“What do you value, what do you want, and are they aligned?”

“Most of life, as we know it, is of our own creation as far as how we interpreted the things that have happened.”

Favorite quotes of the episode: “One thing I say to business owners right now is that we are consumers too. We are balancing personal and business finances through rough waters. I recommend preserving cash as much as possible.”
“The most important thing you can do with personal credit, make sure you don’t have late payments on your credit report. If you have to carry a balance for a bit, then once we get through this, you can pay off that debt.”
“Don’t feel bad about taking advantage of deferments right now, it might be a way to help preserve cash flow during these tough times.”
“Keep up with your financial system and accounts right now, run your business numbers every month.”
“What is essential? What do I really need? It’s a great question to revisit from time to time in both our personal and professional lives.”

5 Questions Segment

Favorite quotes of the episode: “I saw people in leadership positions who were just out for themselves, and I didn’t like that. I determined that if ever I was in a leadership position that I want to impact others and help them to succeed.”
“Ultimately, as a leader, when your people succeed or you have an impact on others, you look good.”
“Being a good leader really doesn’t take a lot, it’s showing your employees that you care about them. Something as simple as asking them, how did your kid’s baseball game go? Just show that you care, it’s a small thing, that’s a human thing.”
“Your past and your mistakes don’t define you. You can always turn it around and make your life amazing.”
Episode Overview
In this episode, I talk with Trina Martin. She is an author, speaker, technology consultant, and podcaster. She uses her experiences to motivate audiences to overcome adversity, develop self-determination, and discipline. Trina also inspires emerging leaders to pursue their wildest dreams with heart and grit.
An accomplished IT professional and member of the U.S. military for 30 years, she has broken barriers and made strides in her career that many said weren’t possible. A native of Chicago, IL, Trina is the youngest of four children and the first in her family to attend college.
With unwavering determination, she enlisted in the United States Army and served in the reserves to put herself through school at Alabama A&M University. Both of these choices fueled Trina’s desire to succeed and revealed the depths of her resiliency.
Naturally skilled at finding the harmony between technology, science, and data, she has led a stellar career in the Information Technology field. As an Intelligence Officer in the U.S. Navy and now as the owner of her technology agency, Trina has pierced the glass ceiling and excelled in positions typically held by men.
Throughout Trina’s career, the common denominator has been her ability to set goals and not only achieve but surpass them. Self-motivation, discipline, and hard work are the driving forces that helped her design a life and career that defied the odds stacked against her.

Favorite quotes of the episode:
“Systems and processes aren’t sexy, but they are an important and necessary part of your business.”
“Systems and SOPs are the infrastructure that give us the freedom to work less.”
Start documenting your business processes from the beginning, “It wasn’t until we had a front office employee leave that we realized all of our systems and processes for running our business were in her head.”
“Begin with the end in mind.” -Stephen Covey
“You can always have a mile-long task list, so I try to keep in mind what are the top three things I need to accomplish for the day.”
Episode Overview
In this episode, I talk with physical therapist, Dr. Robert Moss. He has 22+ years of experience as a physical therapist with an emphasis on orthopedics. He has taught continuing education courses for physicians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and athletic trainers across the United States. In 2006, Dr. Moss opened MOSS Rehabilitation Center to help transform the lives of everyday people by quickly getting them out of pain and back to normal after an injury or surgery naturally without pills, injections, or surgery.

5 Questions Segment
Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? I have a toddler, so for me, the evening is where the magic happens. I journal and write down what I’m grateful for. I also ask, what did I learn today? If I had today to do over, what would I change, what can I learn from that? I also give myself a problem or a question that I want my subconscious to work on overnight.
Q2. What's your definition of Success? For me, it’s to have the freedom of time, money, and energy to be able to do the things I want to do.
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? Being present and being in the moment.
Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? Invest in toilet paper—that’s a joke. But seriously, not to sacrifice your family time for work time. Work will always be there. The other thing, don’t wait until you have something painful happen in your business, like I did, to start documenting your systems, start working on those now.
Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? That whole notion of a work-life balance, figuring out how to be present in the moment. David Allen from getting things done says, “it’s the game of work and the business of life.”

Voter Resource: How to Cut Through The Politics of COVID-19
As a public health professional, I've been getting a lot of COVID-19 Questions:
How do we go beyond the partisan political messaging to figure out when and how to reconnect with the world safely?
What data should I believe?
How do we know who to believe to keep ourselves and our families safe?
How do I look at the data?
How do I assess if my elected officials are doing a good job?
In this video, I share two methods to look at the trends over time to know what's happening in your community:
1) Add up 15 days of data
Add the new positive cases for the first 15 days of each month and divide that number by the total tests run over the same 15 days. Then compare that ratio over time. Is that ratio getting smaller? staying the same or getting bigger over time?
2) Look at Statewide Trends
Statewide data is available through the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME.) It is an independent global health research center. https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america
Here you can easily look at the trends and predictions over time. What you want to see is the number of tests go up while the number of positive cases, hospitalizations, and deaths all trend down. Let me know if this was helpful and if you'd like to see more voter resources on the intersection of public health policy and politics to cut through the partisan rhetoric to learn what the data says and how partisan political messaging impacts public health.

Favorite quotes of the episode: “In my mid-forties, I found myself outside of my comfort zone and I had the chance to connect with my inner voice and understand that the life I was living, wasn’t aligned with my personal values.”
“The Athena Principles teach and inspire wellness through story.”
“Celebrate, have fun and play and have a sense of adventure, because that’s what life is all about.”
“Sometimes we don’t want to think about change, even when we know it’s necessary, because it forces you to look at the reality and the choices you’ve made that have led you to the place where you are. That’s a tough place to be.”
“Your life wants to speak to you. Your still point is quieting the noise so you can hear your own wisdom.”
“Presence plus Quiet is how you get to your still point.”
Episode Overview
In this episode, I talk with Kathy Robinson, a corporate executive turned author, teacher, and certified wellness coach.
Kathy began her career on Wall Street and spent 15 years at a Fortune 250 company before retiring as its Chief Risk Officer and Chief Audit Executive. After decades of assessing the wellness of corporations, she turned the lens from professional assessments to personal ones, becoming a certified coach and sharing her wellness journey and philosophy in her book, The Athena Principles: Simple Wellness Practices for Overworked Professionals.
TOPICS
- What is wholehearted wellness and discussion of the spectrum of wellness that includes vitality (exercise and nutrition), flow (simplifying, energetic flow and expression) and connection (spirituality and relationships)
- Kathy’s Journey as a busy professional: Mind, Body, and Spirit
- How to show up for yourself with optimism and enthusiasm.
- Wellness Tools, Principles, and Practice
- Setting ourselves up for a good sleep routine!
- Changing mindset to run an ultra-marathon at 54 years old when 20 years before, 1 mile was a challenge.
- How to connect to our still point, even with all of the COVID-19 chaos, there is still opportunity, and why it’s important.
5 Questions Segment
Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? Water, coffee, write, meditate, make my bed, exercise, and get ready for work.
Q2. What's your definition of Success? Purpose and Impact. I have a saying in my office, “Let the life you live be the lesson you teach,” and that’s my daily reminder to live with purpose.
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? It’s about living wholeheartedly. Fully embracing who I am, showing up with an open heart, open hands, and doing things that light me up with the people I love.
Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? I would tell my type-A perfectionist younger self three things: 1) Relax, it’s all going to work out and even better than you can anticipate. 2) Sometimes you have to let go of things you love to let new things in and to grow and that’s okay. 3) Don’t forget to enjoy the journey, it’s a lovely ride. And that’s what my 75-year-old self would tell me today, to live with ease, let go with grace, and just have a blast and enjoy it all.
Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? Presence. To be aware but not be distracted by the past or the future. Presence plus Quiet is how you get to your still point.

“Make sure your emergency fund is somewhere you can access in the middle of the night.”

Favorite quotes of the episode: “Since I’ve become debt-free, I feel like decisions I make in my career aren’t just based on money, I don’t feel stuck in my job and I have more freedom.”

TOPICS

5 Questions Segment
Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? I make my bed every morning, one cup of coffee, and try to start each day helping someone else. Then I look at my planner and determine the three things that I want to accomplish today and get started.
Q2. What's your definition of Success? For me success is doing work that is meaningful and having relationships that are meaningful. When a colleague says they’ve learned something from me, that’s a huge complement and a measure of success. We also need our own internal measure of success because we don’t always hear about our impact on other people.
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? I find that I’m the happiest when I have a sense of purpose and when I have something exciting to look forward to.
Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? I didn’t know that there would be more to my career than seeing patients and clients and maybe owning a practice someday.
Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? Our biggest challenge is just getting it all done, setting priorities, and also taking care of ourselves in the process.

Key to a resilient mindset? “Allowing yourself to feel all of the emotions. You don’t need to ignore them, but we don’t need to dwell on them either.”
“I love organized chaos and thrive on stress, but it’s important to know your limits and ask for support when you need it.”

Episode Overview
In this episode, I talk with Dr. Ben Carvosso. He is a High Performance Coach with 28 years’ experience. Having started his personal development career at age 19, Dr. Ben has spent the last 28 years refining the art of helping to bring out the best in individuals and teams. Using a variety of coaching methodologies, mentoring and success strategies he inspires people for their ideal life to find and achieve their life's work.
Dr. Ben started off in business purchasing a Health Centre at age 23. He built that business up over 14 years to become one of Australia's largest Allied Health practices.
About 12 years into his business career Ben also built a Radiology Company from scratch. Starting as Owner, HR Manager, Supply Manager, PR Manager, Marketing Manager, Sales Manager, Finance controller and at times Cleaner. Over 7 years, he built it to a company that had 4 Comprehensive Radiology sites throughout SE Melbourne employing over 34 staff and turning over $3.5M annually.
In 2018 Dr. Ben published what was to become an Amazon Bestseller, Life CEO - Take charge and start doing your life's work, not your busy work.
This book is a coaching manual designed to help business owners design their ideal life so that they stopped the busy, full and instead found fulfillment. All aspects of their life became profitable, including their business.
So with that, let’s jump right in.
TOPICS
-
Ben’s Career Path; how he decided to become an entrepreneur, author and the genesis of his company.
-
How to find your purpose and infuse it into everything you do.
-
Why trying to achieve work-life balance is a losing strategy.
-
Rather than trying to figure out what this work/life dynamic should be called, should we just start thinking about work as a piece of life, rather than try to balance it all?
-
Do you find this work-life balance struggle is present with Long Service Leave in your Country? Don’t Australians get something like 4 weeks paid vacation a year?
5 Questions Segment
Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? Something achievable but a bit of a stretch. So for example, I get up at the same time each morning, 5:30 am. Then go for a swim in the ocean, for a run or to the gym.
Q2. What's your definition of Success? For me, a successful day is where I set my intentions (have intentions not expectations for the day) and along the way, experience joy. For me, that’s success and happiness.
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? Experience joy each day.
Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? I wish I would have known that life is long and that life is short.
Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? We’ve got to stop the busy.

Episode Overview
I kicked off 2019 with a promise to discuss big issues, big ideas and provide real-world actionable solutions that we can all implement in our daily lives as busy professionals.
In this episode, I talk with Marilise de Villiers. She is the founder and CEO of Marilise de Villiers Basson Consulting. She’s a mover and shaker in the cybersecurity space and is changing the current landscape. She believes that people are the greatest asset when it comes to keeping organizations and society safe. Her approach is to coach and support cybersecurity executives on the design and delivery of effective people and behavioural change strategies.
Through her consulting, training and coaching she is on a mission to create high performing cultures. Integral to this work is her conviction that the workplace today is in dire need of more kindness, clarity, and engagement around a common vision in order to deliver world-class results. Looking past our differences and seeing the good in others can make our working lives a lot happier, more fulfilling, productive and profitable.
TOPICS
Your Career Path; you work in Cybersecurity, what made you decide to write your book roar?
What have you learned, that helps you show up as your best and most authentic self every day?
Just a guess, but I am I correct to assume that cybersecurity is a predominantly male profession, has it been hard to learn how to roar in that environment?
Any insights for other amazing women navigating a predominately or historically male profession?
Suggestions for Roaring into the new Decade?
5 Questions Segment
Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? I do my innercise, which is akin to meditation, for 20-30 minutes before I do anything else.
Q2. What's your definition of Success? Get to that next level of life while maintaining relationships, and your health.
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? Happiness for me comes from inside, it’s a contentedness, it’s gratefulness for what you have in your life. It’s a conscious choice I make every day.
Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? Progress, not perfection.
Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? The inability to be present, the fast pace running from meeting to meeting. We’ve lost the ability to be fully present and fully engaged.

Favorite quotes of the episode: “I work hard when I’m at work and I use my downtime to recharge hard.”
Dr. Dixon shares the power of a positive mindset and how she maintains her well-being while paying down over $200k in student loan debt, “The difference between exhaustion and burnout is really just my thoughts about it at the end of the shift. I can look around and literally see these lives that I saved and the lives that I touched, and I don’t feel burned out.”
“I was very resentful of having this student loan debt hanging over my head for the next 20 years, and needed to change my mindset from it’s unreasonable to pay more than the minimum towards my debt to realizing this debt is making me uncomfortable and causing me anxiety so why don’t I just take control of it and get rid of it.”
“It’s not unreasonable to invest in things that matter to you and paying off my student loan debt matters to me.”
Episode Overview
I kicked off 2019 with a promise to discuss big issues, big ideas and provide real-world actionable solutions that we can all implement in our daily lives as busy professionals.
In this episode, I talk with Dr. Erin Dixon. She is a 2017 graduate of the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies in Edinburgh, Scotland. She is currently working at an Emergency Veterinary Clinic in Colorado Springs. Prior to emergency medicine, she worked at two mixed animal practices and still maintains the desire to help all creatures - whether they have fur, scales, or feathers.
Prior to earning her veterinary credentials, Dr. Dixon served as an officer in the United States Coast Guard and was stationed in Astoria, Oregon and New Haven, Connecticut.
When not at work, Dr. Dixon can be found hiking all over Colorado with her two dogs, Huckleberry and Kit. She also has two cats named Peek-a-boo and Hamish who don't hike but enjoy helping her solve crossword puzzles.

Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? I don’t have a routine. I do walk the dogs every day, we aim for about 5 miles a day.
Q2. What's your definition of Success? I no longer think it’s about being the best or getting things right all the time. I think a person is successful if they can find meaning and accomplishment in the task before them, even if it doesn’t turn out the way they hoped.
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? A sense of empowerment to change my current circumstances and having goals to work towards.
When I felt unhappy, I felt stuck and I was waiting for my circumstances to change so that I could change and I could be happy.
Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? I wish I had a better grasp of personal finance 10 years ago.
Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? Time Scarcity and changing my mindset to I have time to do what’s important.

Favorite quotes of the episode: “Burnout is not a work crisis, it’s a soul crisis.”
“When the ego is in service to the soul, then watch out, the sky’s the limit, and I believe that’s what we are all put on this earth to do.”
“There must be some way we can do our big work in the world and not go insane.”
“Before we can talk about boundaries with other people, we have to first talk about boundaries with ourselves.”
When you go through failure, you have an opportunity to re-evaluate, ‘What is success for me?’
“Where most people get tripped up, is that they stay in this cycle between conscious numbing and anxious exhaustion.”
“My definition of a boundary is that it is an action we take to protect our values.”
“Wholeness is not perfection, wholeness is embracing all of the parts of ourselves.”

Favorite quotes of the episode: “Feedback is hard because feedback is about learning and growth and learning and growth are uncomfortable. Always.”
“Learning that discomfort is not a barrier to being effective, is powerful.”
“The purpose of feedback is to help people get more effective at meeting their own goals.”
“Try it, do it badly, and you will get better.”
Episode Overview
I kicked off 2019 with a promise to discuss big issues, big ideas and provide real-world actionable solutions that we can all implement in our daily lives as busy professionals.
In this episode, I talk with Kate Arms, on how to give and receive feedback.
She has been creating cultures where people thrive since 1984 when she first realized she could turn the lonely outlier kids in her middle school into a group of friends. She has learned through experience that every person has the power to improve the culture of a group with or without formal authority.
Her superpower is facilitating open, challenging, and respectful conversations on controversial topics on Facebook.
She has negotiation and mediation training from Harvard Law School. Her coach training includes coaching certification from The Co-Active Training Institute (CTI), Organizational and Relationship Systems Coaching (ORSC) training from CRR Global, and certification in Creativity Coaching from the Creativity Coaching Association. She is a certified InterPlay Leader and a graduate of CTI’s Co-Active Leadership Program.

From the book, Crucial Accountability:
STAR Method (Situation, Task, Action, Result)
Framework for looking at where failure happens: (Individual, Group/System, Tools)
- Does the individual have the skills to do the job?
- Does the individual have the right motivation?
- Does the group have the skillset?
- Does the group have the right motivation? (or incentive structures?)
- Does the individual have the right tools?
- Are the Tools impacting the motivation?

Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? I text my friend each morning a daily message to help keep us on task and being the people we want to be that day.
Q2. What's your definition of Success? A sufficient quantity of good feelings, a sense of accomplishment, a sense that my work and I matter, a sense that I am leading my life rather than being a victim of circumstances, and good relationships. ~ from Martin Seligman’s work.
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? Enough ease with discomfort to pursue my goals, savoring success so that I truly enjoy it and enough courage to let go and begin again.

I’m not dependent upon anyone else for my happiness and that I can create relationships that make me happy, I don’t have to wait for other people to do it.

Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success?
I’m a night owl and now I have leaned into it. From midnight until 2 am I take me time. I can take things at a slower pace since the world is a bit quieter.
Q2. What's your definition of Success?
For me, success is at the end of the day, knowing I did my best and feeling good about how I closed the day. I’m someone who yearns for more always and I’ve had to learn to take things day by day.
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness?
Feeling ok. When you walk out of a meeting and the sun hits your face and you feel warm and you can be in the moment and value every second of the day.
Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago?
That life goes on. We’ve all had trips, falls, and failures but it’s ok.
Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today?
Lack of Connectivity.

Favorite quotes of the episode: “1 out of 3 adults do not have dental insurance in the United States, so we created this solution to offer preventative dental care at an affordable price.”
How to balance being an entrepreneur and a new mom? “Just take it one meeting, one phone call, and one email at a time. Don’t overthink career transitions, the reward could be so incredible.”
“As an entrepreneur, your job is to be a problem solver, your personal life is no different. You have to figure out who is going to pick up the kids and be a problem solver and that’s your responsibility.”
“I believe true happiness is being at peace with yourself.”
Episode Overview
In this episode, I talk with Megan Lohman. She describes herself as accidentally becoming a co-founder of a tech startup, Plan Forward. One of her driving forces for co-founding this software company was to help people access and afford dental care.
Today, she finds herself still trying to help bridge the gap between access and affordability for patients, and profitability for providers.
She’s had an incredible and amazing career path taking her from medical device sales to lots of travel with a sports marketing agency and stumbling into this new career trajectory as an entrepreneur while navigating life as a new mom!

Favorite quotes of the episode: “Happiness is Joy and Contentment.”
“When you recognize your Inner Critic is just your habitual conditioned old computer programming mind, you don’t have to take guidance from it anymore.”
“The Secret to Life is learning how to manage the thoughts of your Inner Critic. If you aren’t managing those thoughts, you are just living life on autopilot.
Episode Overview
I kicked off 2019 with a promise to discuss big issues, big ideas and provide real-world actionable solutions that we can all implement in our daily lives as busy professionals.
These podcasts are meant to start a meaningful conversation so if you would like to see additional guests share another viewpoint around any of these topics please send an email to angela@pawsconsulting.com with your comments and suggestions for future podcast guests and topics. I absolutely cannot wait to hear from you and look forward to your insights and thoughtful comments.
In this episode, I talk with Joanna Kleinman from Dethroning Your Inner Critic to discuss just that!
BIO
She is a licensed psychotherapist, a national workshop leader, and upcoming author with more than 22 years of experience working in private practice with clients both locally and all over the world via zoom.
She created the online transformational program called “Dethroning Your Inner Critic™, and podcast. It is an approach that centers around her groundbreaking M.I.N.D Method, which consists of examining the habitual and conditioned thoughts and beliefs in our minds that have been playing on a repetitive loop for our whole lives and are as transparent as breathing.
She teaches clients to rewire the automatic hardwiring in their minds, not by changing the conditioned thoughts, but by breaking the habit of giving energy and attention to the conditioned thoughts and beliefs. The M.IN.D Method is one-of-a-kind, and its foundation is guided by the unconventional idea that you don’t need a lifetime to learn, master and then change the processes of the mind.
Most people try to change the external circumstances of their lives in order to think and feel the contentment and satisfaction they desire. Her methods focus on changing from the inside out. This is the type of transformation that leads you to ‘waking up’ and viewing the world in a different way.
Welcome, Joanna! Thanks so much for joining us today!
I’m so excited to jump right in and learn more about giving our Inner Critics the old heave-ho and learn how to live the life of our dreams!

Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? “We are in an age where we are just nonstop with email and social media. Design your life now so you are having the thoughts and actions that make you feel balanced and at peace and finding joy is the most important thing.”

Favorite quotes of the episode: “Don’t let anyone else’s story demotivate you. Figure out where you are at and where you want to go, then learn along the way.”
“Balance between saving for future goals and living life today.”
“Financial Independence isn’t about the money, it’s about life fulfillment, create a life you don’t want to retire from.”
Episode Overview
I kicked off 2019 with a promise to discuss big issues, big ideas and provide real-world actionable solutions that we can all implement in our daily lives as busy professionals.
In this episode, I talk with Dr. Marianne Krumdick, a veterinarian, a CPT in the USAR Veterinary Corps and a personal finance enthusiast who is working towards FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early). She even led a Financial Peace University Course (developed by Dave Ramsey) while deployed.
I thought it would be fun and hopefully useful, to have a real-world conversation with real people about personal finance, which resources have helped us along the way and share our perspectives. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I enjoyed speaking with Dr. K!
*Disclaimer: We are NOT financial professionals; this podcast is for entertainment purposes only.
These podcasts are meant to start a meaningful conversation so if you would like to see additional guests share another viewpoint around any of these topics please send an email to angela@pawsconsulting.com with your comments and suggestions for future podcast guests and topics. I absolutely cannot wait to hear from you and look forward to your insights and thoughtful comments. I will cite all articles referenced in this podcast in our show notes so you don’t have to stop what you are doing to scramble to find a pen and paper.
So, with that, let’s jump right in.
TOPICS
Tackling student loan debt while living the life of your dreams and achieving financial independence. *You don’t have to live in your parent’s basement to get there.
Balance between saving for future goals and living life today.
FI, FIRE, Lean FI, Fat FI, FFLC, ERE– Definitions and understand that financial independence isn’t about the amount of money but what you need to be financially stable and not need a full-time job. It’s about life fulfillment, create a life you don’t want to retire from.
Retire early and often!
Step 1: Where are you today? Budget vs. Un-Budget
How to Un-budget? How much can I afford to save? And do that first. Then automate your monthly expenses from your checking account.
Dave Ramsey’s plan is a good get out of debt plan, where to start. Create a budget and list where you spend your money. It may take 90+ days to get a handle on where you spend money and where to cut or replace your current service with a less expensive alternative that gives you the same or greater value.
Discussion of Dave Ramsey’s Baby Steps
Spender vs. Saver? Mindset shift: Spend into a savings account in a different bank!
What’s next after you get out of debt? Where Dave Ramsey ends, and FIRE begins.
Get out of the mindset of having someone else “handle it” because no one cares about your money and your financial independence more than you. Keep learning as you go.
Where to put your money? Depends on your goals.
How to stay motivated: Color in a debt barometer or make a paper chain to keep the family involved and motivated! Don’t drag it out longer than you have to because you will lose motivation.
The fun account! Profit first is a way to motivate yourself and keep you focused on your goals. Everyone needs a release valve!
Angela’s hypothesis, what happens when you combine Profit First and the Dave Ramsey method?
42:50- 5 Questions Segment
Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? I set my uniform up the night before because I am living in a small space in a deployed environment currently.
Q2. What's your definition of Success? Success is about finding activities in your life that you find fulfilling and surround yourself with people who you have valuable relationships with and hopefully make this world a better place.
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? Fostering relationships with friends and family and living out purpose. If you are doing those things, you’re going to be happy and also successful.
Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? I wish I knew about index funds! I wish I knew a few simple concepts about finance and where to put my money.
Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? The biggest issue is debt.

Episode Overview
Everything you want to know about what top employers are looking for from navigating social media to leadership skills. Position yourself for your next career.
TOPICS
Personal Branding from a Recruiter’s perspective.
How do I create a positive, personal brand?
- be energetic and enthusiastic.
- In other words, be happy.
- don’t interrupt or talk over the person. Be actively listening and not just waiting for the other person to finish speaking so you can talk.
- and this is a big one, focus on what the other person wants and not what you want. That’s the best way to engage them and keep them engaged. This is also known as the “Principle of Reciprocity.”
Social Media Do’s and Don’ts.
How to be authentic on Social Media and add value.
5 Rules of a Value-added Social Media Post
- it should be of value to someone’s career, and it doesn’t matter if it’s a business owner or an employee.
- it should offer a tip related to business growth, or a career.
- it should inspire someone in their work life.
- it should be relevant to the industry in which you operate.
- it should come from a credible source.
What Leadership Skills are employers looking for?
- inspire people to perform at high levels.
- empower people by giving them what they need to succeed.
- view obstacles and challenges as opportunities.
- constantly strive to be innovative and they do not cling to the status quo.
- draw people to themselves; people rally around them.
5 Questions Segment
Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? I drink water with lemon, make my bed, greet my family and have breakfast before leaving for work.
Q2. What's your definition of Success? My definition of success is fulfilling my purpose in this life and achieving the goals I set out for myself. For me, it’s to have a balance and to achieve both my personal goals and my business goals.
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? My definition of happiness is to have my family be happy and cared for and where they feel loved. It’s also teaching my kids to have a good work ethic and giving them the foundation and tools; they need to be successful in life. I’m also grateful that we live in a country that allows us to have the freedom to obtain both personal and career success.
Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? Not to get so stressed out about so many details. Some things are not worth getting worked up over.
Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today?
I think the biggest challenge is having balance. Also, information overload. I think there are many things competing for our time. You have to be specific about what you want to do in this life and not get distracted. We have to sort through the noise and focus on what is important and learn to let the things go that are not important. We only have so much time in the day.

Life Science Effect Podcast Swap: Show Notes
You might remember about a month ago, in episode 14, I interviewed Steve Vinson from the Life Science Effect Podcast on tech trends in the life sciences and biopharma.
We thought it would be fun to interview each other on our own podcasts so rather than be the host, I would be the guest on Beyond the Stethoscope.
Also, I get a lot of questions and feedback from you that you want to learn more about me, my career and how I navigated my career transitions and what I’m doing now.
Since we were already guests on each other’s podcast, it seemed easier or more prudent to simply use the pre-recorded audio and share that information with our audiences. I hope you enjoy this episode swap between The Life Science Effect and Beyond the Stethoscope Podcasts.
Steve interviews Angela about her new role with Pinpoint Pharma, a 21st Century Compounding Pharmacy for Pets, her career and navigating career transitions. Learn more at www.petsgetit.com

Can you share a little about why you decided to branch out from healthcare and pursue being an entrepreneur?
For many of us, as busy professionals we really hate to sell or upsell especially if our practice managers are pushing us in that direction from a business perspective. So many of us just want to make a positive difference in the lives of others which is why we became doctors, dentists, lawyers or pursued other professions. What is the mindset around selling that you have to remove that 4-letter word stigma?

Episode Overview
I kicked off 2019 with a promise to discuss big issues, big ideas and provide real-world actionable solutions that we can all implement in our daily lives as busy professionals.

I will cite all articles referenced in this podcast in our show notes so you don’t have to stop what you are doing to scramble to find a pen and paper.
So with that, let’s jump right in.

So with that, let’s jump right in.
2:54 TOPICS
Dr. Greenhill is here with me today to help us discuss leadership and help us improve our leadership skills through gaining a better understanding of inclusion and diversity and helping us to better understand what diversity and inclusion really means, what it looks like and how can each of us make a positive impact on the world around us.
More diverse teams produce really cool ideas and more profitability.
For example, A Forbes article from January 2018 shared current research stating, “…gender is not the only side of the story. Companies with more culturally and ethnically diverse executive teams were 33% more likely to see better-than-average profits. At the board of directors level, more ethnically and cultural diverse companies were 43% more likely to see above-average profits, showing a significant correlation between diversity and performance.”
5:00 As busy professionals, hiring managers, or members of a team, how can we be positive influences in our workplace?
6:00 How to find and tap into talent pools outside of your current networks.
8:30 What is unconscious bias?
11:20 How can we become more aware of our own unconscious biases’?
Harvard Project Implicit is one free tool.
12:17 I want to share some information about your column, Diversity Toolbox, for Today’s Veterinary Business magazine. One of my favorite articles is from August of 2018, titled Fairness and Equity for all. In it, you talk about applying an equity framework to decision making to help mitigate disparities.
Can you share some examples about how we could apply equity frameworks in our daily lives?
14:00 Discussion of grit and resiliency.
16:00 In preparing for this podcast you shared with me some journal articles that we could share with our audience. One that I found to be particularly powerful, insightful and quite simply found myself wondering how I was going to restrain myself from reading the entire, 6-page article to our listeners was an article by Alice Eagly and Jean Chin published in the April 2010 American Psychologist called Diversity and Leadership in a Changing world.
They provide a wide-ranging overview of this topic in an interesting and easy to read format. I want to share their final thoughts with our listeners. “We advocate ending the intellectual segregation of considerations of gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, and culture from mainstream leadership theory and their treatment as a separate domain of study. To counter this segregation, we recommend that scholars of leadership contemplate how their theories might better address diversity concerns and that scholars of diversity study leadership because this knowledge has considerable potential to illuminate issues of race, ethnicity, gender, and culture.”
20:15 Lisa’s Podcast Diversity and Inclusion On Air; discussion on Intersectionality and integration of leadership and diversity research.
21:22 And finally, I’d like to talk about an amazing idea raised by Quinetta Roberson in her Ted Talk, The science of inclusion. She reminds us that the term inclusion can still be exclusionary and maybe a better term would be fusion. The energy generated from fusion produces one of the most powerful impacts in the universe, so maybe we can use our diverse experiences to have a powerful impact on the world.
24:00 How do we implement diversity and inclusion from a leadership perspective? Act Right. Practice behaviors that actually respect one another’s humanity, identity and value the differences we each bring to the table.
26:26 Authenticity, think about bringing your whole self into a room. Be very clear and do some self-reflection on what skills you have and that you bring to the table and honor that as well.
27:28 5 Questions Segment
Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? “Hit the snooze button, walk my dog a few miles, and have our quiet time.”
Q2. What's your definition of Success? “Success for me is Impact”
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? “Happiness is a good glass of red wine, excellent piece of chocolate cake, a good movie or a good book, and time with my family.”
Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? “I wish I would have known about authenticity 10 years ago. To be able to do what I want, say what I want and to really own it.”
Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? “Work life balance and work creep.” Love/hate relationship with technology.

33:52 Q2. What's your definition of Success?

35:33 Q3. What's your definition of Happiness?

38:05 Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago?
“When I think about this question, would I have done anything differently? One way I try to think about this question is what am I going to know in 10 years that I wish I knew now? I think what I’ll know in 10 years is that discipline and time with family and friends pay off.”
40:54 Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today?
“The biggest scarcity right now, is attention. There are so many things competing for our attention. We have to guard our attention knowing it is a precious resource and super limited.”

18:20 Q2: What’s your definition of success? At any given time you can feel more or less successful, important to look at it, on balance. Get through the day, a day that isn’t full of conflict, you have a meaningful connection with others and you move a project forward. That’s massively successful.
19:50 Q3: What’s your definition of happiness? Not a single definition. It’s a great thought that there are little things in life that make you happy. Being content with what you’ve got and being grateful for what you have.
21:30 Q4: What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? There are decisions you may have to make, but you don’t have to make them right away. This is a massively important strategic skill, to gather the facts to be more thoughtful.
23:10 Q5: What do you think is the biggest challenge that busy professionals face in their daily lives? Making time for other people. There are so many demands on our time, that the ability to make time to connect with others is one of the biggest challenges for busy people today.

3:05 How do you suggest that busy professionals get started? The first thing to think about is what do you have as the vision for your life and what are you passionate about?
Starting your own business is 85-90% sales and marketing and operations and management and not doing that thing that you love.
4:44 What if we really love our full-time job and just want to turn our hobby into a side business?
“I advise everyone to start their business as a side hustle.”
“In my book, I talk about how every family should have a $100,000 side business as the protection for their family and as a shield from employers that shut down.”
6:00 How do you get started in a side business? “Just start doing it, reserve an hour in the morning or your lunch hour every day or an hour at night.”
“One of the biggest things that is really make or break to turn a dream into a reality is having a set schedule.”
7:40 Overwhelm creeps in and can keep you stuck. It happens to everyone at some point. Overwhelm stems from disorganization. Organization is at the root of making progress. Have a set schedule so you are planning out your work and working your plan and sticking to your plan then you will make progress.
9:15 How do you know it’s time to make the leap and turn the business into a full-time venture?
“I always lean on the side of taking longer, saving more, getting your debt paid off, and getting help and getting all of your ducks in a row before you make the big leap.”
12:10 It depends on how far you want to go with the business and how much you want to grow it.
“It’s really important not to compare and to only assess the life you want to create and the hours you want to work and how much income is required to support that so you are truly making the right decision for you. Because no two people are going to have the same wants and needs that are actually going to make them happy.”
13:22 “It is as easy as knowing your focus but know it’s the hardest thing ever. We want to do a thousand different things and we want to do them all now and a lot of the stuff that are fun and sexy to work on are not the stuff that are going to make us money in our business.”
“On an index card write down the 10 things that you are going to consistently do to grow your business and carry it around with you.”
15:15 ‘5 Questions segment.’
15:25 Morning routine. Starts the night before with 8 hours of sleep, the next morning meditation first, lots of water, exercise, personal development and then I jump right in!
16:50 Definitions of Success and Happiness
“Success is really having your heart of hearts on the inside be reflected on how you are living your life on the outside, being in alignment.” “Don’t compare or compete.”
“Happiness is putting my family first and building a business where I can make a meaningful difference in the world.”
18:10 What do you know that I wish I knew 10 years ago.
“I wish I would have started my business sooner and to be patient and be kind. I’m very hard on myself and have high expectations of. I would tell myself to slow down, take a deep breath it’s all going to be ok. It all comes together in perfect harmony exactly how it’s supposed to.”
19:36 Dilution is the biggest challenge of entrepreneurs today, they are trying to do too much and are spread too thin. Keep simplifying your focus so you can do really well mastering a couple of key things to help in getting you where you are to where you want to be.

I recently received a question from a veterinarian who was 5-10 years out from graduation and had worked in many different settings as a private practitioner and was trying to decide if a career transition into industry or government might provide a better lifestyle or make them happier.
I’ve been there and what I can share is that the grass isn’t greener, it’s just a different shade of green.
I advise anyone who is feeling unhappy, unsatisfied or overworked to go back to basics and start with “why.” You may have heard about Simon Sinek’s book ‘Start with why’ that walks us through what that means.
