- Masters Series: What's your Why with Gareth Burrowes
As I continue to grow in my career, I'm haunted by the question of; Should I get my masters? To help me answer this question I have enlisted the help of a few of my friends who have either gone through the process or are currently going through it.
My first guest is Gareth Burrowes, Head of Product and Growth at The Tech Connection in Boston, Massachusetts. Gareth received a dual masters in Computer Science as well as an MBA. During this interview Gareth brought up a key point of WHY are you considering to do your masters. If it is just to learn something new then in this day and age of technology we can learn anything we want online without having to spend so much money to do so. We must therefore consider the following: are you doing it for a promotion, to aid in migration (moving to another country) or to help you move along on your career path.
This interview is the first in the series, I hope at the end of the series your questions and mine are answered and we have a clearer picture as to whether or not we should go ahead with this step.

On this episode of Adulting 101 I chat with Rochelle Gapere who is an Attorney, Happiness Coach and an Entrepreneur.
We speak about how infusing happiness and positive thinking into your life can help you make better decision. Before making a decision ask yourself will it make you happy? If I go to the gym this morning will it make me happy? If I hang out with the toxic people from work will it make me happy? If the answer to these questions is a yes then go ahead and do it! if the answer is no then don't.
In the conversation Rochelle shares that we are the curators of our lives, we are the ones who decide how our lives should be. No one is coming to save us!. She also speaks about her book One Happy Thought At A Time: 30 days To A Happier You.
Share this episode with someone who needs some happiness in their life! Leave a comment as well and let me know what you think about the podcast and which episode is your favorite.
