• Summary

  • Welcome to Grit, a monthly podcast focused on stories of grit and greatness from the streets to the suites. Grit is a forum for stories about people who possess uncommon work ethic, drive and passion. They are movers. Shakers. Role models. Overachievers who are under the radar. Host, Margaret (MarGRIT) Trimer, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships for Delta Dental of Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana, has studied, cultivated and curated grit over her 30-year career including stints in the newspaper business, education, non-profit management and now corporate leadership. At Delta Dental, Trimer directs corporate giving to build healthy, smart, vibrant communities for all—the places where people want to live, work and play. These are the places where true grit can be found.
