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.

Favorite quotes of the episode: “We have nothing but love for CPAs and tax professionals.” “Pro-active strategic planning is always worthwhile.” “PSA for the 2020 election year, beware of politicians spinning the truth to discredit their political opponents” (example: marginal tax brackets explained) From the Next Millionaire Next Door, “70% of millionaires they studied have a budget.” In this episode, I welcome back Isaiah Douglas of ID Financial Planning to discuss tax planning: perspectives from a spender and a saver.

Favorite quotes of the episode: “Get out of your own way, you are the obstacle.” “Purpose is the character of your life.” “Once you have a feeling around what your purpose is, you can make plans and those plans are tangible.” “It’s ok that purpose isn’t tangible, it only needs to mean something to you.” “We need to be kinder to ourselves. We try to achieve more than we can.” 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.

Favorite quotes of the episode: “There’s a big difference between being demeaning versus being demanding.” “Workplace bullying is 4x more prevalent than sexual harassment, it’s a frightening statistic.” “Give yourself permission to be your best self.” “My whole mission in life is to bring more kindness to the world, but it’s not just kindness to others, it’s first and foremost kindness to yourself.” “Rome wasn’t built in a day, but they were laying bricks every hour.” “Work Hard, Play Hard, and Be Kind.” 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.

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. TOPICS Kate’s career path Setting the stage, overview, how to prepare for feedback Preparing to receive feedback, building trust How to Give Feedback / How to Receive Feedback (steps, tactics, framework) 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?  Common Fails, pitfalls to avoid 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 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. Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? 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. If I want great power, I have to take great responsibility, but only for things that are within my power.

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.

Q2. What's your definition of Success? When you feel like you are in control tackling problems you are faced with on a daily basis and positively impacting those problems. Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? I believe true happiness is being at peace with yourself. Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago?

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!  TOPICS What is the Inner Critic is and where does it come from?  How your Inner Critic mind sabotages your ability to have the work-life balance you crave How your Inner Critic sabotages you from achieving your dreams  How your Inner Critic keeps you stuck in procrastination The connection between your Inner Critic and chronic dissatisfaction and discontent in life The 4 step MIND Method to get your Inner Critic out of the driver's seat of life.   The Secret of Life! 29:25 5 Questions Segment Q1.

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.” RESOURCES Connect with Joanna at www.dethroningyourinnercritic.com Or email her at Joanna@dethroningyourinnercritic.com Angela's favorite books will be raffled off to those who leave a review!

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.

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.

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 Steve asked about some of Angela’s Favorite Books or Online Resources: The World Economic Forum: https://www.weforum.org/ Atomic Habits: https://jamesclear.com/atomic-habits We have our first winner of the book drawing for leaving a podcast review!

  Favorite quote of the episode: “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.” BIO We are here today with Dr. Lisa Greenhill who currently serves as the Senior Director for Institutional Research and Diversity at the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC).  Dr. Greenhill directs the Association’s internal study of academic veterinary medicine through collaborative research, analysis and publication efforts.  She also manages the DVM: DiVersity Matters initiative, which promotes increased representation of underrepresented persons in academic veterinary medicine, inclusive academic environments and the inclusion of diversity related professional competencies in the DVM curriculum.  Dr. Greenhill previously served nearly three years with the AAVMC, during which time she managed legislative and regulatory policy issues including agriculture production, biomedical research, professional education, food safety, and environmental health.  She holds a Masters in Public Administration with a concentration in public policy from George Mason University in Fairfax, VA and a Doctorate in Education from Benedictine University in Lisle, IL.  She is mom to an amazing daughter and a terrier mix.   2:00 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. So often, we don’t know what we don’t know and sometimes we just don’t know how to start a conversation about important and dynamic topics.  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.  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.

Here, you might need to be more deliberate to meet the right people, but it’s possible. Purdue Discovery Park District If you have money, talent or a technology, then these are ways to connect with others in the field and match up needs and talents. Talent retention in the Midwest is needed. How do we match up opportunities with talent to keep people here in the Midwest. 11:59  Many of my listeners are in the health care field and are busy professionals, can you share any technological advances that may make their lives easier? Machine Learning/AI what it looks like in 2019 and beyond in the healthcare field. It’s just more data, it’s not taking over. Example about Retina Images that can predict diabetes diagnoses.

What's your definition of Success? “I have a micro and macro definition of success.  The micro definition is very nerdy and engineering like.  You are successful when you achieve the predetermined result.  Macro, life level, it’s living my values and ability to help other people, so I look at the impact I’m having on others. Have I had impact for other people.” 35:33 Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? “If I’m around other people achieving what they want to achieve, it makes me happy.

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.
