  SPEAKER_01: Thank you, Lee, for having me.

  SPEAKER_01: And I thought it'd be nice if you just give like a brief introduction of kind of your experience and your world today.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_02: So my experience in history extends about 15, 16 years in healthcare IT, where I started at uh MetaTech, which is an EHR vendor and worked my way up to be the CIO at a hospital.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_02: Then I ventured off to start my own company, and LibreTech is closing on our fourth year this year.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_01: It's incredible.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_01: Congratulations on that.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_01: I I keep saying I'm a freshman, but I think I maybe moved in the sophomore year.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_01: So you're like a senior entrepreneur on the sophomore.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_01: So congratulations on that.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_01: How's it?
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_01: How's it how are you feeling right now in the in year four?
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_02: Good.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_02: I got, you know, I did a lot of things for this year, made it, it made it really big.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_02: You know, uh, Bluebird Tech has been growing a lot for year four.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_02: I went and got a career coach who's been helping me tremendously.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_02: I got rid of a couple of the C level titles, right?
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_02: As you're an entrepreneur, you take on all the C level titles.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_02: And so I've given off a couple of those.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_02: And so it allows me to focus more on the CEO position and the strategy of the company and growing the organization.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, great.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_01: Becoming the owner versus the operator.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, exactly.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_02: Starting to, if it's starting to feel good.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's a process for sure.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, definitely.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_01: So you've definitely done some bold things.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_01: Being an entrepreneur in itself is rather bold, but I I bet there's other things that you've done in your life.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_01: What would you describe as your definition of bold?
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_02: Somebody that's just willing to take the risk, sort of jump now and figure it out on the way down.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_02: And I think that totally describes the woman that I've become.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_02: I you know, I started being bold very young as a gymnast for you know all the way up through high school.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_02: Then I took on my next step of bold and become a springboard diver in college, had never done that before.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_02: And so had a New England title and held a school of record for a while.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_02: So worked my butt off to become good at that.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_02: And then I cliff jumped, you know, I'm not afraid to take that jump.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_02: But I was training actually just last year for an iron man.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_02: And these kids, these teenagers, were jumping off this bridge.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_02: I live, you know, by the ocean.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_02: And I immediately stopped, took off all my tech gear, and I said, I'm gonna jump with you.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_02: And they all looked at me like I was crazy, you know.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_02: I'm I'm sweaty, it's August, and I went over the edge, and four of us and a couple of girls, we all jumped together, and it was just so rewarding to be out there with the teenagers and for them to know that us older folks can still be uh live on the edge and and jump with them and make it through.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_02: And I think I carry that through with my children.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_02: I have two young girls, and it's really important for me to teach them that they can be bold, they can take a risk, and it's going to be okay.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_02: And you figure it out as as you go.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_02: Mentoring them and and other young women is just a huge passion of mine.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_01: Well, there's a lot of bold.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_01: So, Kyle, who do you think gave you your bold gene?
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_02: Were you born with it?
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_02: I feel like I was, yeah, I think I was born with it.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_02: I'm kind of feel like I'm the black sheep of the family.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_02: You know, my sister went to be a teacher, my mom was a teacher, my dad took on an engineering career, and my brother has been, you know, with a company for a really long time, just recently switched, and I'm the one that's always been moving up the ladder and the risk taker.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_02: And I I'm not quite sure where I got it from, but I have this fire under me that is just willing to take the risk and see where it goes.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_02: And it's been an amazing road and adventure along the way.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_01: And it's brought you exactly to where you're now, which is where you're meant to be, which is very, very cool.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_01: I want to talk a little bit about the sports you selected.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_01: So I shared a little bit.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_01: I played soccer, I played basketball, and I played fast-pitched softball.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_01: So those were my sports, mostly from at you know, elementary through high school and a little bit in college.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_01: But you gymnastics and springboard diving and then cliff jumping, and let's just start with gymnastics and springboard.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_01: Both of those have a high level of risk with it.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, absolutely.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_01: And there are not nets on the side of either one of those sports.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_01: So when you started gymnastics, you were young in elementary or yeah, I was three.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_01: Three.
• 5:23
  unknown: Okay.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_01: So I've always been in awe of just the jumping and the leaping and the going in between bars and on the balance beam and the incredible skill set and concentration that happens with that.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_01: But those sports too, like for me, like I would be fearful.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_01: I would be scared to fall or scared that I wouldn't land correctly.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_01: What do you learn in that sport that kind of probably I'm assuming there's probably some steps in there, like you've done it enough or you've you've fallen enough.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_01: You know, there's kind of like learning through the falling in a way.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, absolutely.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I think part of gymnastics is, you know, it takes years and years to become really good, and you do it a thousand times to perfect it, and you fall down a thousand you know, 500 of those times.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_02: And I think that's helped shaped who I am today, knowing that you can fall down, get back up, and do it again, and being able to do that in your career as well.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_01: I wrote something this morning around grit, which was like grow, repeat, improve, try again.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_01: So it's like everything isn't a success.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_01: And I think there is a mindset of a gymnast and certainly of a swimmer and a springboarder of like nailing the perfect dive or hitting that, you know, perfect landing that comes once once in 10 times.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_01: It's a lot of pressure, right?
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_01: And you are more used to most likely failing than succeeding.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_01: Is that accurate?
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_01: Probably, yeah.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_02: To enter that water and have no splash.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_02: I don't can't tell you how many times I came out of the pool with bruises on me from landing in some god-awful position.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_02: But you know, I think that a lot of that training, a lot of the coaching and being any sport and be a part of that as a kid really is something you can use as you get older and and really shapes who you become.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_02: I think that's part of why I one, I can't sit still.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_02: I'm always doing something.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_02: I tell people that I'll sit still when I'm dead.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_02: And that sort of strict regimen helps shape how you're going to be in your career.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_02: And so I take that on with my children now.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I don't care what you are going to be passionate about, but you're not gonna come home from school and and sit on your butt.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_02: You're going to pick something, whether it be art, music, a sport.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_02: And I think that's going to help shape them and help them learn life lessons.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_01: And the power of routine and habit, right?
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_01: That's another thing.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_01: I truly believe for myself, like sport played a big part of my life.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_01: 100%.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_01: Like just being able to handle things, being able to feel accepted, because sometimes middle school and high school can be really raw confidence.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_01: I gained a lot of confidence through sport.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_01: And not that you know, my parents weren't encouraging or anything like that.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_01: Like they always told me I could be anything I wanted to be, but man, it gets tough in the middle school and high school years sometimes.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_01: And that was a way for me to relate and connect.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_01: But it also established, I think, a mindset for me of like, I can be on a boys team and really rough it up and take some bruises here or there, but like get right at it.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_01: And probably I carried some of that into the corporate world, you know, it's like I will stand up.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, absolutely.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_01: I may fall down, but I'll get back up.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_01: And right, absolutely.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_01: So when you kind of like got through your high school years and got into college, were you focused on being in healthcare tech?
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_01: Or kind of what did that look like?
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_01: Did you planfully get in this space, or did it happen just along your path?
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_02: Organically, along my path.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I I've had people ask you, I really don't think I was somebody that was supposed to go to college.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_02: School and books are not my strong, you know, suit per se.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_02: I'm I have more of that street smarts.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_02: And so I was told to pick a college for my parents, and I did, and then I went on and and I graduated, and I ended up sitting next to a lady who was whose daughter worked at Meditech in HR.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_02: And that was sort of my my in.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_02: And I interviewed it.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_02: And for me, starting at Meditech was probably the most difficult things I've ever done.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_02: I started in laboratory implementations.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't know what a centrifuge was, I didn't really know about microbiology and learning all of these things.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_02: I think it was that challenge and having that mentality of being successful and being that sort of perfectionist.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_02: Finally, I met like a really big match and I wasn't gonna let myself fail.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_02: And so that was the start of all of this brewing together and then going on to be CIO.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_01: So the challenge in the unknown, so again, some bold factors in there.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, definitely.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_01: Like you took it on as like, I'm I'm gonna get this right.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_01: And I think tenacity and grit and failure versus success, like that didn't scare you.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_01: It was like, I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna get this.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_01: And so coming into an unknown field somewhat, it sounds like not many people know about centrifuges and things like that.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_01: Being able to learn the technicality of that as well as the operational or whatever may have been involved in that.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_01: So a lot of learning from different directions, it sounds like too.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think I come in with a mentality of yes, I can do that, and then I go back behind the scenes at home and like, oh, I gotta figure this out, right?
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_02: Let me Google that.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_02: Let me Google and read.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm more studious now than I think I ever was, but but I it's something that I'm passionate about.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_02: But one thing I definitely want to say is that don't let don't think that all of this boldness doesn't come with, you know, my own insecurities or my own worries, or everybody has that.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_02: They might, you know, put up a the front, but you know, there's definitely things that made me nervous or you know, I started to fail at, and you seek out your mentors or people to help you along the way.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_01: And you can have like a really bold day, and the next day you can be like light as a feather.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I remember one thing I've mentioned this story before, but someone was just trying to help me when I was early on, trying to do stuff on LinkedIn, and they criticized how often I was doing it, and I like burst out into tears.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_01: And it was just like, and my husband's like, What's wrong?
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm like, you know, I'm talking about LinkedIn posting, and he was like, All right, it's gonna be okay.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_01: You know, but it was just like I was trying so hard to do it right, and I like wasn't.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_01: I guess for me, it was just one of those moments of like when you are in this field and you're doing things, no matter what the field is, you will have a bold day, and you might have a lighter bold day, and then something you might not feel bold at all.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_01: And I think there's a continuum of it, and I think that's important for people to know too, and like just being self-aware and being kind to yourself is bold.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_01: You know, giving yourself a break is bold.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_01: Like, you know, it's expecting to be successful 100% of every day is really unrealistic.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_01: And I just hope that I start the day and end the day with a smile and kind of roll through things and you know, things happen.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_01: And you know, especially when you're running your own business, things you planned might not go.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_01: Even if you don't own your own business, things happen that you don't plan.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_02: I think self-reflecting, right, is what you're sort of getting at.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_02: And and I think even when you're having a not bold day or you're kind of low, I think being able to self-reflect on what you could change or do better and take those opportunities or little nuggets and run with them.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_02: Because it's sort of like your gut or your brain telling you, you know, and helping you along the way.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_01: So tell me about Bluebird Leaders.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_01: Like what is that all about and why did you initiate that?
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_02: Bluebird leaders started from a fire that was kind of lit, you know, years and years ago, where I attended a conference and I was the minority of female CIOs in the room.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_02: There was lots of old gentlemen.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_02: And then I don't know what happened, you know, in June, I I have been helping startups launch, you know, for all of 2022.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_02: And I helped one similar to Bluebird Leaders.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_02: And in June, I just got that fire and was just like go.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_02: And I feel like it's happened overnight, you know, so quickly.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_02: And launching a nonprofit right when your kids get out of school is uh a fantastic idea, said nobody.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_02: And and it's you know, we're we're creating a community for women in health IT and and having, you know, conferences where we can all get together and be engaged together, you know, maybe reduce some stress.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_02: And and just how do we help get the next generation ready for leadership roles in health IT?
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_02: We need more women in the field and mentoring them.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_02: I think it's really important to take the younger ones now and let them feel like they have a voice and not allow them to step in the mud that we've already stepped in.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_02: Like, how do we help them along so that they're starting way further out in the field than we did?
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_02: And so we'll have our conference in November coming up.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_02: It's in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, November 3rd and 4th.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_02: And then also in January, we're going to be launching our mentor mentee program as well.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_02: And then we'll also be having uh membership as well, online membership, where there'll be content and webinars and everything for our members.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_01: What I love about your conference and the concept, and thank you for having it.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm excited to be moderating.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_02: I'm excited to have you be the moderator.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's an honor.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_01: I'm excited about the energy.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_01: So I think it's nice for people to know that you don't have to be in healthcare IT to actually reap the benefits of attending this.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm not healthcare IT, you know, I've been an operational person the most of my life.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_01: I run my own consulting company now.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_01: I I create networking and curated events and retreats.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_01: Like someone say, Well, you shouldn't go to that.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_01: But I'm like, no, the power of the connectedness, I think, of the attendees, and obviously I am in healthcare, so but there's so much you can learn just by being together.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_01: And I think the commonality between all the people that are coming and the speakers that you have is really they're all leaders, and they're all people wanting to make a difference.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_01: What would you add to that?
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yes, they're all leaders, they all want to make a difference, they're all strong, you know, powerful women that are extremely bold, every single one of them.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_02: And I think it's just a great opportunity for us to all get together and network and you know, see how we can move the needle in health IT.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_02: But I also think to your point, Lee, that what I've been telling people is if you're in health, healthcare, some medical field, or you even go to see a doctor, which everybody does, and you use a computer, which everybody does now, it's a great opportunity for you to come to the conference and and hear the speakers.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_02: So it's not going to be very heavy technical IT jargon being used.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_02: It's not going to be very heavy, you know, medical jargon being used there.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_02: It's a it's a combination of there's a really big changes that need to happen in health, care, and and IT because it's all you know 10 years behind the rest of technology.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_02: And so, how can we all help make a difference there and network at the same time?
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, for sure.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_01: So all the information's below for everyone that's a listener of mine, there's a discount code below for you to use.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_01: So excited to see all of you there.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_01: I'm really excited to meet some of the people that I've never met before.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_01: So thank you for doing that because I think that's bold in itself too.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_01: Because as we get into these different areas of like, how do we create the network?
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_01: How do we connect?
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_01: How do we empower one another?
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_01: You know, because I think so many people live in a scarcity mindset of like, oh, I gotta protect this, I gotta protect that, I gotta grow my own business, versus an abundance mindset where I feel like there are so many problems to solve in healthcare and tech, like all hands on deck.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, yes, and we're again, we're light years behind.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_02: And so how can we leverage and network each other?
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_02: And yeah, you know, you can do that virtually like we're doing now, but you just get so much more out of the in-person connections.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so we need you.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_01: Anyone's that listening, we need you there.
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_01: And I I look forward to meeting lots of people at the event.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_01: So, as you think about your creating the summit and creating Bluebird Leaders and the success of Bluebird Tech Solutions over the last four years, what's next in your mind?
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_01: Like that's one thing that I think we're always thinking about.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_01: What's next?
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_01: What's the big goal for 23 for you?
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_01: For 23.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_02: I am really focusing on building both of the companies.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_02: Continue to build.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_02: I think 23 will be a building year for both, and focusing on getting myself more into that CEO suite job position and letting go of some of the duties because I have phenomenal staff, and so giving them the keys to be successful in their roles and letting them fly using that technology, as we say.
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think next year will be anything really new.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_02: I think I'd give my husband a heart attack if I told him I was gonna start something else.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_02: I understand that.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_02: But getting out there more, you know, for me, getting out there more, talking more about both organizations.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_01: So one of the important things that we'll end on this is delegation.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_01: So it sounds like you've been able to kind of move into that.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_01: And I think that's probably hard for a lot of people, a lot of the leaders, probably a lot of women.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_01: Sometimes, you know, I wouldn't delegate in my corporate setting because I didn't want to add more to someone else's plate.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_01: So, what's the like determiner that I need to delegate?
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_01: Like, what is a sign that someone needs to delegate and advice you would give them?
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I think if you have, you've hired great staff, right?
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_02: We'll assume that the staff is there.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I think use them and let them have the opportunity to fail because that's when they're going to learn.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_02: That's when you're actually going to build that trust that you're not gonna fire them right when they're gonna fail and that nervous, you know-ness is there, and and then helping them learn from their failures and coming up and rising.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_02: And so I think delegating any of that work and and allowing them and setting them up to succeed is important.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_01: You're being able to do some more of the things that really help the business grow, help build the business.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_01: And the day to day, you have a talented team who can support you in that, right?
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, letting go.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_01: So you can actually connect more to your mission and vision.
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, because right now I feel like I'm being pulled in both directions.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_02: I want to help grow the organizations and the mission and vision and getting that out there, you know, like we're doing now.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_02: But then I have all this other stuff that I need to start delegating as you know, as we're growing and more staff come on board.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_02: And so giving that to them so that you can feel like you can breathe a little bit more, right?
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, for sure.
