TITAN

(definition)  

A “Titan” is a person of exceptional importance and reputation. Albert Einstein was a titan in the world of science. Shakespeare was a titan of literature and Wayne Gretzky was a titan of hockey.  The noun titan comes from Greek mythology, in which the Titans were a race of gods. Today, a Titan is someone who is reputable, distinguished and preeminent in a certain field.  

The Titan 100 is a program to recognize a premier group of 100 CEO’s and C-level executives in a region. Representing both the private and public sector, these leaders are Titans of industry who demonstrate exceptional leadership, vision, passion, and influence in their field.

I put post out  a few weeks back about doing an AMA style episode and told people they could ask me anything. Questions came in and this episode is me walking through answering each of them.

These were great questions that made me reflect on some things I haven’t thought about in quite a while and others that made me chuckle.

I hope you enjoy the Q&A and getting to know me a little better!

Let me know if this is a format that you’d like to hear again in the future sometime.

Nate is a stellar leader, husband, father, and frankly, just a great human. 

This interview far surpassed my expectations. For those of you who, like me, resonate deeply with being raised by a single parent…get your tissues and your heart ready for this.
Within the first 5 minutes, Nate had taken over the podcast and had ME in tears…and then technical difficulties arose and kicked me out of the system. Like the consummate professionals we are, we hopped right back into the conversation and the magic continued as he shared his story.

In this episode, Nate shares:

·       His story of being raised in a non-traditional, single parent environment and how that has impacted him as a person and a leader.

·       How his upbringing forged him into the husband and father he is today.

·       After losing his mom in a car accident at 9 years old, what he feels like was the most powerful lesson she instilled in him.

·       What is most important to him as the CEO of Gabb Wireless and their fight to minimize unnecessary exposure to our kids via traditional phones and unlimited access to the internet.

·       What he is most proud of in his first year with Gabb.

·       How he juggles life and maintains his non negotiables of tucking his kids in at bedtime.

·       How his faith has been an instrument in all that he does.

If you aren’t connected with Nate on Linkedin, do yourself a favor and go do it now:

I had a blast recording this episode with Nancy. She is full of wisdom and insight and loves to share what she has learned with others. She is a fellow CHIEF and is equally as passionate about the advancement of women in leadership.

In this episode she shares:

·       How growing up in a male dominated environment paved the way for her to break barriers and become the dynamic woman she is today.

·       Some of the biggest lessons she learned in her career and how that taught her to take risks.

·       What compelled her to pivot into co-founding CAP STRAT.

·       The story behind how 2 women refused to mentor her in her early career in Wallstreet, a time when women saw each other as competition and kept their elbows out, became part of the catalyst for her starting the Women’s Forum.

·       How she and her team started something called “The Culture Club” 4.5 years ago and how it has deeply impacted their people.

·       Why money is power and why more women need it.

·       Some financial tips and takeaways for women around: equity payouts, investment, 401K, HSA, estate planning and ALWAYS having an emergency fund.
