This week Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Susan Ann Davis. The two talk about resilience in the face of challenges, the importance of mentorship and community among women in business, and the strategic choices involved in scaling a company globally. In this episode, we discuss: How Susan's career path veered from law school ambitions to falling in love with Washington D.C.'s vibrant environment, leading her to strategic communications instead. Why mentorship is vital, rooted in Susan's experiences and efforts to create supportive networks like the International Women's Forum. Being unafraid to take risks and the power of listening more than talking to drive success. Handling difficult situations and failures. Overcoming challenges as a female business owner     Susan Ann Davis-President of SDI is a pioneering woman business owner who opened her agency when relatively few women were experiencing success in the business world, and fewer still owned their own business. Over decades, she has grown SDI into a global public affairs and strategic communications powerhouse, receiving accolades and recognition from industry peers and earning the respect of business and government leaders around the world. Internationally known for her expertise in strategic positioning, reputation management, government relations, and crisis communications, Davis has provided counsel to government and industry leaders on six continents and was a strategic U.S. advisor to the Irish Bishops Conference for the Vatican World Meeting of Families and the papal visit to Ireland. She is a co-founder of IPREX, a global agency network covering 100 markets worldwide. Davis has worked with more than a dozen countries on issues ranging from economic crisis to nation building and trade expansion. And for decades she has been a strategic communications and public affairs consultant on U.S. military and veterans' issues for the defense industry and to multiple Secretaries of Defense, DOD agencies, service branches and support organizations. Over her professional career, Davis has played a key strategic communications and government relations role in high-profile crises ranging from reputation management, product liability litigation to airline crashes, environmental threats, and foreign government economic crises, affording her deep insight into senior management policy, planning, execution, and decision making. And as a leader and business visionary, she is expert at developing engagement, media, and business opportunities for executives throughout the globe. She led the Global Irish Forum recommendation for Ireland to develop as a global hub for smart aging technologies, products, design and services, was a founder of Smart Ageing Living Labs of Ireland, and a former producer of a White House Conference on Aging and Silicon Valley Venture Boomer Summits. A lifelong advocate for social entrepreneurship, democracy building and leadership development for women, she is board chair emeritus of Vital Voices Global Partnership, the preeminent NGO that trains and empowers emerging women leaders in 115 countries. She was a founder and the first international president of the International Women's Forum, the global leadership organization now representing more than 7000 women of achievement. She serves on numerous philanthropy boards including the American Ireland Fund and the Razia's Ray of Hope Foundation, for which she is board chair. The Foundation continues to educate over 700 girls in rural Afghanistan. Davis chaired the landmark U.S. Ireland Business Summit, creating the groundbreaking US-Ireland R&D Partnership, and has been formally recognized for her leadership by the governments of Ireland and Northern Ireland. She's been named among the Top 100 Irish Americans, 75 Most Influential Irish American Women, and Top 100 Outstanding International Irish Business Leaders, and received the Flax Trust Award for Service to Northern Ireland. Along with then Prince Charles and former PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi, Davis received the Global Empowerment Humanitarian Award in the United Kingdom, and she was awarded the Noble Humanitarian Prize in Glasgow, Scotland and the prestigious Order of Merit by the Knights Templar. Among her many professional awards are the Stevie Award for Lifetime Achievement in Business, the Bronze Stevie for Woman of the Year, National Woman Business Owner of the Year, Woman Business Advocate of the United States, and the National Association of Women Business Owners Award for “Outstanding Achievement in National and International Public Affairs.” She was an inaugural honoree for the National Capital Public Relations Society Hall of Fame award and the Biz Bash Special Events Hall of Fame.

Today is going to be a great episode. I recently met today's guest at the end of last year through a mutual connection. We had the opportunity to hop on a zoom call and get to know each other and learn more about what we were up to in business. We both quickly realized that we knew a lot of the same people, and had both done some pretty incredible things in the digital marketing agency space. Finding people like today's guest in the marketing space is hard to come by; because so many people are faking it; he is not. It's a breathe of fresh air meeting people like him.Today's guest is Chris Martinez. He is the Founder & CEO of Bloom. They help agencies maximum value, unlock potential, and achieve an 8-figure exit.Chris' Bio:Chris Martinez knows what it's like to face challenges head-on—and win. As the CEO and Founder of Bloom, he has built a company from zero to millions in revenue, earning national recognition, including a Stevie Award in 2021 for Minority-Owned Business of the Year and a Silver Medal for Most Innovative Company Under 100 Employees. With over a decade of experience helping marketing agencies scale profitably, Chris has become a trusted advisor to agency owners looking to eliminate chaos, boost profits, and build businesses they can confidently sell.Chris's unique journey fuels his passion for helping others succeed. Born to a Chinese mother and a Mexican father, he learned early on how to navigate adversity and turn obstacles into opportunities. After losing his father to pancreatic cancer in 2007, Chris experienced dark years but found his way back through counseling, mentorship, and a commitment to giving back. This resilience is at the heart of his work with agency owners, as he helps them tackle their toughest challenges and build thriving, sustainable businesses.At Bloom, Chris is more than just a CEO—he's a problem-solver who rolls up his sleeves and works alongside agency owners to implement the systems, strategies, and accountability they need to scale effectively. Whether it's streamlining operations, creating profit-driven plans, or building leadership teams, Chris is focused on delivering results that empower clients to take control of their businesses and their futures.Beyond his business success, Chris is the author of four books, including It's Not JUST a Website, a six-time Amazon Bestseller read by thousands. His latest book Facts Not Feelings is considered to be one of the greatest books on scaling a marketing agency of all-time. He also hosts the popular podcast Operation Agency Freedom, where he shares real-world insights and stories to inspire entrepreneurs.When Chris isn't helping agencies scale, you'll find him playing soccer, training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, traveling with his wife, or spending time with his dogs.Connect with Chris:Website: https://bloompartners.io/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.martinez.5454 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisfrombloom/ Builders of Authority:FREE Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/7685392924809322 BOA Mastermind: https://buildauthority.co/order-form-mastermind GoHighLevel Extended 30-day Free Trial w/TONS of Personal Branding Bonuses: http://gohighlevel.com/adammcchesney

Our first "Best of" Astonishing Healthcare podcast episode goes back to the beginning. For those who have been listening, "Thank you!" - we'll be back with a new episode next week. For new listeners, A LOT has happened since our co-founder and CEO AJ Loiacono kicked things off, including, but not limited to:New York City FC and Capital Rx Announce Sleeve PartnershipPrime Therapeutics and Capital Rx Enter Into Transformative Strategic AllianceCapital Rx's Customer Care Team Wins 5 Stevie® Awards for Customer ServiceCapital Rx Launches Never Move Again™, Enabling Self-Funded Plan Sponsors to Perpetually Access the Best Drug Prices Without Ever Having to Reimplement a PlanReplay - Build a Lasting Pharmacy Benefit Strategy with Never Move Again™Fortunately, the overarching message/theme remains highly relevant, and AJ's experience and insights are always interesting to hear. Employer plan fiduciaries and health plans need aligned, focused, and unconflicted partners with next-generation technology to support their benefit programs (and operations) in a rapidly evolving environment. This goes well beyond just being transparent or passing through pharma revenue on the PBM side, which are bare minimum expectations at this point.All that said, Happy Thanksgiving, and if you like what you're hearing, please share the podcast with your network!For more information about Capital Rx and this episode, please visit Capital Rx Insights.

How can your personal self-awareness help your career and performance success? How do I hone this? Our guest Nancy Parsons will share her insights on this question along with assessment and data-based ideas for mapping a strategy for effective development.Deep self-awareness is critical to mapping an effective strategy for development and performance improvement.  Research shows that leaders tend to lack the clarity and personal objectivity needed to recognize, build upon, or leverage their inherent character talent, gifts and acumen; while understanding, managing and neutralizing their risks and short sides. This means that leaders spend a lot of time trying to develop the wrong things or have difficulty honing in on what matters most. In fact, an HBR study (Eurich, 2018) of 5000 participants found that while most people think of themselves as self-aware, only 10 to 15% actually are!  Nancy Parsons will share insights and stories of how accurate self-awareness leads to breakthrough success and fulfillment.Nancy Parsons is one of today's foremost experts in combining the science of assessments with the art of developing people. She co-founded CDR Companies, LLC and developed the break-through CDR 3-Dimensional Assessment Suite® an in-depth coaching tool used by global clients. The Suite measures:  character traits, inherent risk factors for derailment, and drivers and rewards.  In 2020, Nancy and her team launched CDR-U Coach, the first of its kind digital avatar coach providing individualized feedback and development for all employees. In 2022, CDR-U Coach was awarded the international Gold Star Winner of the “Best New Product” by the Stevie Awards for Women in Business. This is a scalable solution to assessment and coaching that can reach all levels of employees. Nancy was awarded the prestigious MEECO International Thought Leadership of Distinction in Executive Coaching in 2019 which only a select few have received such as Marshall Goldsmith and Jim Kouzes.www.cdrcompanies.com, www.cdr-u.com, www.cdrassessmentgroup.com, https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancyeparsons/     Leadership Development, Self-Awareness, Leader Action Planning, Assessments, Executive CoachingTune in for this empowering conversation at TalkRadio.nyc

Jacobik later sold her business after decades of growth for 7-figures, and now advises startup entrepreneurs on mastering the financial planning necessary to build a profitable venture.She is the best-selling author of “The Path to Profits: An Entrepreneur's Guide to Having it All, and Still Having a Life” (which won two Stevie Awards for Best Business Book Of The Year 2023) and “Prosperity After Divorce: Take Charge of Your Finances and Create the Life You Want.” Her financial expertise extends beyond strategy; she also held a securities license for over 20 years.

Dr. Angela E. Lauria is the founder of The Author Incubator™ and creator of the Difference Process™ for writing a book that matters. In 2018, The Author Incubator was ranked #275 on the Inc. 500 fastest-growing companies and #87 on Entrepreneur Magazine's Entrepreneur 360. Angela won the Stevie Award's Coach/Mentor of the Year Award and her program, The Author's Way, was named Coaching Program of the Year and she was named by Entrepreneur Magazine as one of the top 10 most inspiring entrepreneurs to watch – one of only 2 women.  I've seen Angela's work online for years as we've circled each other around various mutual friends. For a while now I've had a sense that she could be a really great guest for the show. Then, about a year ago I started noticing how she was showing up differently online. She talked really openly about her autism diagnosis at age 39. She was writing incredible posts about how she experiences the world as a person with autism. I have learned so much from her. So, I finally reached out to ask her to come join us in the SMA. I am so grateful she said yes. This is an incredible conversation.  Listen in to hear Angela share: What led to her autism diagnosis at the age of 39 How her diagnosis allowed her to feel like she could finally start her life and her career  What masking is and how people with various neurodivergences mask in order to fit into the world How she learned to set boundaries to self-regulate in a world that's not designed for people with autism Why labeling autism or any neurodivergence or a person with disabilities or differences as a person with superpowers is inappropriate and leads to “inspiration porn” How the brain of a person with autism differs from an the brain of an allistic (non-autistic) person in terms of how the brain integrates information What self-care might look like for a person with autism - and how it looks very different than self-care for allistic people Links mentioned: Work with Angela: Differencepress.com Book: It.

Discovering the Enneagram was the key to helping Kelli Thompson get out of her head, move through doubt and rumination, and take action.  “It was really just a journey of how do you bring your life back into alignment with your values, learn to trust your heart and your gut, and that they have just as much merit as your brain, and then how do you use that to speak up and set boundaries, and take next steps forward and to make confident decisions,” says Kelli. In this episode, Kelli shares the importance of bringing the three centers of intelligence into balance and how to navigate gender stereotypes as an Enneagram 5 in the workplace while not losing yourself in the process.  ––– Kelli Thompson is a women's leadership coach and speaker who helps women advance to the rooms where decisions are made.
