Grit & Gravitas

Team G&G is pleased to welcome the incredibly vibrant and energetic Jasmine Brooks, TV News Anchor and Storyteller for CBS21 to the podcast studio. In this episode, Jasmine takes a break from being the interviewer to sit on the other side of the microphone. From how she landed her first anchor job to how motherhood has changed her approach to news reporting, Jasmine shares her secrets to persistence, resilience, and consistency with our listeners and cohosts Anne Deeter Gallaher and Anne Carnathan. What would Jasmine tell her younger self? “You are valuable. And there are opportunities everywhere.” This half hour is bursting with #businessvitamins for young professionals, moms, and mentors.

Today, our G&G co-hosts are excited to welcome fellow Shippensburg University graduate Betsy Hamm, former CEO of Duck Donuts. After four years of leading a donut empire—opening in 9 international countries and 200 locations in 26 days—Betsy is exploring a new challenge as an independent consultant for emerging brands. From figuring out what’s next, to raising your hand and determining your P.I.E., join Anne, Anne, and Betsy for business vitamins for every stage of your career.

In a new year, we often ask ourselves what success looks like. But what does success feel like? As we explore the goals we’ve set for 2025, co-hosts Anne Gallaher and Anne Carnathan discuss not only achieving these goals but how to look back on what we have accomplished with peace, satisfaction, and contentment, rather than always asking ourselves, "What's next?"

DYK? Women send themselves 500 negative or limiting messages each day! In honor of National Mentoring Month, G&G co-hosts Anne Deeter Gallaher and Anne Carnathan invited Gillian Byerly, Executive Director of Girls on the Run Mid State PA, to talk about mentorship and the Power of Yet. Using running as a tool, Girls on the Run is equipping girls from elementary through middle school to be authentic and learn to navigate life with confidence and joy. “Nobody knows where you started from, so how can they criticize where you finish?” says Gillian. Run along with us and pick up loads of business vitamins in this fantastic episode!

Team G&G is putting a bow on 2024 with Episode 86! Co-hosts Anne Deeter Gallaher and Anne Carnathan are honored to celebrate four years of broadcasting this podcast with some outstanding guests sharing unforgettable business vitamins. Thank you to each one of you, our listeners and friends, for sharing this experience and growing along with us. For our last podcast of the year, we’re talking about what we’re putting down and picking up in 2025.

“What we put down opens some space for what we pick up. There must be room to pick up new ideas, new people, and new opportunities,” says Gallaher.

Happy New Year! We look forward to more learning, laughter, and adventure in 2025!
