They generally don't have any structure and multiple episodes could come out in between seasons. This is to ensure that you guys will still get content while we produce the next season.
This episode revisits Photography with John Salvador and Marvin Matias.

Season Closing Notes
Well that’s it for the season. I have to say making this was not easy, but it was a lot of fun. The next season should be in production by next Spring! So keep an eye out on Social Media.
As you’ve probably been listening to this and the past episodes, you can see there is a lot of audio experimentation. I’m hoping to have it nailed down by next season..
I really want to say thank you to all my guests this season (Guest in Episode Order):
I also want to thank my lovely fiancee, Johnna, for supporting me with each recording. And lastly I want to thank you, the listener. I know there’s a lot of choices you have out there, but it means a lot to me for you to listen.

For the first episode my guest has been around the customer service and support industry since 2013. He has transitioned from a corporation which has been around for more than 50 years to a startup that is making its way up the payroll industry. His experience can shed light on what goes on behind the call when you are on the line about a product that doesn’t work, and what the person on the other end of the line is going through. Here’s my guest Kevin Lugtu. Topics include:
Literal Transcript
Hi there, I’m Josh V. I'm a software engineer. I have worked in different companies in different industries. At those places, I always believed that good leadership can always make the company great. For some of those places, it seemed true, but one thing that did surprise me is the people working on the ground level. They can also lead in a way that can also make a big impact. These were people who found problems with the current system and wanted to improve it. Whether it was updating the process or style of management. They help push the status quo for something better.
I also started seeing this outside of the work-life. Some friends and acquaintances who have taken initiatives to make the process better. Either this was planning for a weekend getaway or just trying to win escape the room. I wanted to know more about people on why they wanted to make a change. And those in leadership positions, I wanted to know what their journey was like. I think everyone takes the lead on some initiatives, although some may not realize it.
Join me in this new podcast, owning the lead. We will be doing a 5 episode season, interviewing those who have taken initiatives to start something new. We will also talk about an important factor in learning, failure. Often we hear about the success stories without hearing the road bumps and lessons they have taken to get there. I want to talk about the hardships and the lessons learned from it.
Stick around and I hope you learn something useful for you to try on owning your lead.
