This one with Sarah Medilo was that kind of episode.Sarah is the RevOps Lead at Foundry for Good (a venture firm supporting nonprofits and mission-driven businesses). She's a 20-year tech veteran across Apple, Adobe, and Autodesk. She led the top HubSpot Diamond Partner in the Philippines. She sits on the HubSpot Partner Advisory Council. She helped stand up the HubSpot Partner User Group for South and Southeast Asia. She is also the first Asian guest on this show, and she named that moment with the kind of clarity I hope the podcast keeps earning.We open with her career origin. A political science grad who thought she didn't want to be in sales. She accidentally fell in love with it selling Compaq computers and Compaq servers in 90s Manila. Then she pivoted into product marketing, then into Apple Southeast Asia running global strategic accounts across 16 countries. Yes, she was in war rooms with Tim Cook. She dropped that one casually and we moved on.From there we go into the caregiver pivot most of us are quietly afraid of. Sarah stepped back from the Diamond partner agency she had built in under two years so she could be present for her mother who has late-stage Alzheimer's. We talk about the ego hit and the identity wobble. We talk about the way the path she said no to (Foundry for Good) circled back during Holy Week and turned into the most aligned chapter of her career.Then we get into Sarah's empowerment toolkit: Gallup Strengths, Positive Intelligence, Nonviolent Communication. Her daily mantra (\"intentionally do good\"). The three Philippine nonprofits she directs alongside her day job. Her take on Breeze and agentic workflows as amplifiers for the good rather than the point. And the answer she gave when I asked her to fill in \"success to me means ______.\" She wouldn't put a destination on it. The journey is the thing.Hit play if you're a HubSpot...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/3bnasjM-jiC8QC7CcUeUYiI-5ogXf1cKoU-nF0jzCgk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81ZDYx/NzVhYzZhZjZlN2M0/YmEwOWRiMjAwMDc0/Mjg5ZS53ZWJw.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
