Authority Magazine: 5 Things They Forgot To Mention In College
I would say Lucille Ball was my biggest influence as a child but wasn’t aware at the time that she was so influential. When I was little, we would watch reruns of I Love Lucy over and over again. Most little kids around my age had teen bop magazine posters up around their room of the cutest tween actor. I on the other hand had posters, plaques, and memorabilia around my room of Lucille Ball.
She was a boss before women bosses were a thing. Not only did she prove you could do it all, but you could be hilarious, goofy, beautiful, smart, driven, a perfectionist, and so many other things, all at once. When there were rumors that her husband was cheating on her and was an alcoholic, she didn’t just fall in line. She knew her worth and what she would tolerate, she stood up for herself and stood on her own two feet when the world was watching something so private. Upon their divorce, Lucy bought Desi out of their production company, Desilu, and ran it herself for many years thereafter.

Dependability — When there is external chaos going on around you, knowing you have that pet that will always be there and happy to see you, may give you the security you need.
Authority Magazine Interview: Authenticity
Being vulnerable and authentic are some of today’s popular buzzwords. It may seem counterintuitive to be vulnerable, as many of us have been taught to project an air of confidence, be a boss, and act like we know everything. In Brene Brown’s words, “vulnerability takes courage.” So is vulnerability a strength or a weakness? Can someone be authentic without being vulnerable? How can being authentic and vulnerable help someone grow both personally and professionally? In this interview series, we are talking to business leaders, mental health professionals and business and life coaches who can share stories and examples of “How Authenticity and Vulnerability Pay Off and Help You Win Personally and Professionally.” As a part of this series, I had the pleasure of interviewing Tracy McHugh.
Authority Magazine Interview: Comfort Zone
It feels most comfortable to stick with what we are familiar with. But anyone who has achieved great success will tell you that true growth comes from pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. What are some ways that influential people have pushed themselves out of their comfort zone to grow both personally and professionally? As a part of this series, I had the pleasure of interviewing Tracy McHugh.

ShoutoutLA Interview
Hi Tracy, is there a quote or affirmation that’s meaningful to you? I always like to start things off with a quote, so I chose that as my first question. When I was little, one of my favorite movies was Fried Green Tomatoes with Kathy Bates and Jessica Tandy. I don’t know why, it wasn’t a kid friendly sort of film. It did have a power-house cast and I like to think little Tracy appreciated that. The quote from that movie that always stuck with me was: “A heart can be broken, but it will keep on beating just the same.”
VoyageTampa Interview
Hi Tracy, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story. I guess I will start from the beginning. I was born and raised in New Jersey. I say this because it is not just a location but an attitude.
