On this week’s episode of Central Missouri Alumni Stories, Cory Bittner interviewed a fellow podcaster. He talked with Eric Hughey, Founder of GenWhy Leaders Podcast and Media Account Executive at Informa.
Eric received both his Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree from UCM. He’s held a few different professional positions in his career in which he shares some insight around how UCM helped prepare him. More recently, Eric started the GenWhy Leaders Podcast. If you’re wondering what the podcast is about, here’s the description from the GenWhy Leaders Podcast Facebook page:
“Entitled, lazy, unreliable. These are just a few of the words used to describe Millennials. It wasn’t too long ago consumer and employer reports were being built about us, and how we would acclimate to the professional world. Now, we'll soon be leading the workforce. According to Forbes, 75% of the national labor force will be millennials by 2025. Despite the negative stereotypes, this generation is full of individuals already taking leadership positions at companies, starting their own businesses, and pursuing their purpose to support themselves and their families. In the GenWhy Leaders Podcast, we learn why leaders in this age group do what they do, what keeps them motivated, and how they succeed in this ever-more competitive marketplace.”
Tune into this week’s episode to listen to Eric tell his story and share why he started his podcast, and what he’s learned.
