Don’t take your dreams to the graveyard. Hosting a podcast has been a dream of mine for years. And I’ll be damned if I was gonna take this dream to the graveyard with me.  So, in keeping with the saying that “done is better than perfect,” I’m launching my dream into the world.  

Welcome to The Gen X Shift podcast! In this inaugural episode, I share a bit of my backstory, why I started this podcast, and what you can expect. Plus, stay tuned to the end for a special story that will make you wax a little nostalgic.

NEW TO MICHELE AND LIFE FROM THE SUMMIT?

I was a GenX, latch-key, free-spirited kid of the 70’s and 80’s. From a modest trailer park in Nebraska to the esteemed corridors of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in Washington, D.C. and finally, to the path of entrepreneurship, my journey has been crooked, winding, and lonesome. Learn more here: https://www.lifefromthesummit.com/meet-michele
