In today’s episode, we’re diving into what inspired us to start the Get Busy Livin’ podcast. Get Busy Livin’, or GBL, is Anne O’Neil’s family tradition, and saying that brings the good vibes and positive energy to any situation. For Anne personally, she has always had a foundation of positive psychology and growth mindset which stems from her standout basketball and academic career. Anne earned All-America Honors on the court and in the classroom from Iowa State University and then was drafted into the WNBA. Her career spanned across athletic coaching, TV sports commentary, and business performance consulting where she developed her skillset to see big picture team alignment and build roadmaps for success.
When Barry was given a terminal cancer diagnosis, he was determined to be grateful for every day. In his words, you don’t have to wait for Friday to have a good day, which is how he came up with the phrase TGIT, Thank God It’s Today. When he left academia to pursue business, he switched from the classroom to the boardroom to teach leaders how to be more effective and empowering.
Both Barry and Anne are passionate about helping others while maintaining a positive outlook on life. They may come from different generations, but their mission to be the change they wish to see in the world is timeless. Tune in to hear more inspiring stories from Anne and Barry, as well as interviews with industry and community game-changers.
