This week Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Bettyanne Green. The two talk about what it’s like to birth and launch a book, the importance of making bold decisions even in uncertain times, and how aligning business vision with a fulfilling personal life can transform everything.
In this episode, we discuss:
-
How Ivy draws on real-life moments—including her experience in New York City on 9/11—to extract leadership lessons about meeting the world as it is and creating your own future, even when circumstances are out of your control.
-
What it felt like for Ivy to “birth” her book into the world—navigating vulnerability, self-doubt, and the unfamiliar territory of being the interviewee instead of the interviewer.
-
When Ivy realized the importance of making decisions and setting deadlines to move projects (like her book) forward, despite discomfort or perfectionism.
-
Why Ivy sees success in both life and business as being intertwined, emphasizing that leaders should consciously align personal goals with business ambitions.
-
Why Ivy insisted on including worksheets at the end of every chapter in her book, ensuring that readers not only absorb the material but are prompted to take action and experience real transformation.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
