Favorite quotes of the episode: “Your superpower is the skillset or strength that has the four key elements of ease, energy, enjoyment, and excellence.”
“Your superpower is that strength that you do perfectly every time. Perfect in this context is when how you think, feel, and behave is consistent every time.”
“Having a coach review my strengths assessment with me was the first time I learned that I was good at something."

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 use post-it notes and add them to my planner the night before. In the morning I wake up, have breakfast which is two fried eggs, and have some coffee, have some quiet time, look at my post-it note, and off I go.
Q2. What's your definition of Success? For me personally, it’s being able to support myself, doing what I’m good at, and changing people’s lives on a daily basis. Also, making sure that I’m treating the person in front of me good is my definition of success.
Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? Something that brings a smile to my face or an enjoyable moment. Adding value to other people’s lives.
Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? I wish I had known that I was smart.
Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? Taking the time to dig deep and to become more self-aware.
