Guest Name:
Jody Maberry - The Jody Maberry Show

Guest Intro:
Today I'm chatting with Jody Maberry. Jody is a former park ranger turned podcaster. Jody and I met maybe a couple months back now at a "networking event" here in Denver.

It was pretty clear right off the bat that Jody and I were destined to meet since we're both not really the "networking" type like shaking hands and kissing babies. So I really enjoyed my time with Jody. We sat, shooting the breeze for 75 or 80% of the networking event that we didn't network at and we're totally fine with it. So that was awesome.

That's why I wanted to have Jody on here and hopefully before the end of the show, we'll get into why people throughout the western U.S. are still talking about his running with the squirrel. We'll get some of that information shared.

Topics We Discuss:
Jody’s transition from being a park ranger to an entrepreneur
How being a park ranger applies to business
Re-embracing being a park ranger over getting an MBA
