Jesse McCartney. “Friends.” 2021.

Madison Jantzen is a full-time Social Media Marketer and Content Creator. Up until earlier this year, however, she was a kindergarten teacher. Madison shared her teacher tips, tricks, and bubbly personality on TikTok, and grew a large, dedicated following. This platform, however, caused turmoil in her career and day-to-day life, with people– anonymously– contacting her employers with the faults that they were finding in her (trust me) nothing but positive, and professional, content. This situation left Madison with a very difficult choice: To stay at her steady job, but let go of the brand and name that she had built for herself, or to say goodbye to the career she had worked for– and dreamed of– for her entire life, in order to fulfill a bigger purpose. Her story is one of knowing your worth, finding places where you are valued, trusting in yourself, allowing your identity to change as your life does, and seeing just how many people you can help on your rise to the top– and it’s only just beginning.

Dan Laverde is a Communications and Media Relations assistant for the New York Yankees. He tells the story of the winding path that led him to this exciting position, and how even when he wasn’t sure what he wanted to do, sticking to what he enjoyed helped him to land in the right places. Dan also shares with Kylie the vital importance that networking has had in his career; acting on opportunities when you least expect to find them; what the bravery to “open the door” for yourself can bring; the recognition of the people who helped you get to where you are, and the necessity to pay it forward; and the most important question of all… After growing up a Mets fan, where does he stand now?
