Sabrina Schmidt-Rust —
Transaction Compliance
Coordination Director
with Platinum Real Estate
Group
Schmidt-Rust is the safety net for the
20-plus realtors at the Weatherford-based
real estate firm. “I make sure that all the
I’s are dotted and the T’s are crossed,” she
said. “Why do I do what I do? Because
the world needs more perfectionists. There
are no gray areas in real estate.” Schmidt-
Rust works for Platinum Partners Jake Link
and Wesley Stout, whom she refers to as,
“young pups,” adding, “I’m their den moth-
er. They’re all so busy, having nine or 10
transactions going all at once.” Her job is to
catch any mistakes or oversights, like incor-
rect dates, a contract that needs one last set
of initials.
What’s the most interesting thing about
her? “I raised four children in a 900-square-
foot home with no television or central air
conditioning and they all turned out to be
amazing. I’m no wimp. I do cry every time
I hear the National Anthem played at a high
school rodeo.”
Judy Youngs —
President and CEO of
Wish with Wings
Judy has been CEO of Wish with Wings since 2010.
“We grant magical wishes for young Texans with
life-threatening medical conditions. I have the best
job in the world because I am able to get to know
so many inspiring children and their families,” she
explained. Most people don’t know that she once
hunted rattlesnakes in the Sweetwater Rattlesnake
Roundup. Just loves to pay it forward in drive-thru
restaurants. “I was raised in a law enforcement
family, so I especially love paying it forward for our
police, firefighters and other everyday heroes.” Her
best piece of advice? “Always give more of yourself
than you expect from others.” Judy would like to be
remembered for making a difference in the life of a
child facing an uncertain future.
