Hi, friends! My next guest is Rachel Menge! She recently finished her master's program at the University of Michigan and has accepted a job at Microsoft... Impressive right? Yeah, I agree. Well, she's here to talk about all the stereotypes in engineering (what she studied) and how she, as a woman, is not the "typical" engineer and how that has been both challenging and rewarding! She also talks about her relationship as her boyfriend is in HR which makes for an "atypical" relationship as that field of work is known to be made up of mostly women. This is an awesome episode full of new perspectives, advice, and just plain- old fun!

Hi, friends! Leanne Rahn, a local financial advisor, and I are here to give you 3 main tips about how to use extra income. Whether that's a bonus, a tip, tax refunds, a side job, money for your birthday or graduation or if you're in the middle of quarantine like we are currently - a stimulus check. Now, we know this might not be the case for everyone. We understand for a lot of us, these things aren't always extra income that can go toward anything else but bills and normal expenses. However, if you are comfortable with your finances and this extra cash is really extra cash, here are a few ways you can use it if you're looking to buy a home in the future! If you're looking for ways to use this if you're selling your home, stay tuned for our next podcast in this series!
