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: "Your superpower is the skillset or strength that has the four key elements of ease, energy, enjoyment, and excellence."

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."

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.

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.

"It's ok if you are in financial survival mode right now but remember that it's a temporary situation."
"Make sure your emergency fund is somewhere you can access in the middle of the night."

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.
