So, what do you do?

Meet Spencer! He's been editing film and video for years and worked his way into it through talent, hard work and drive. Loved hearing about how his job is both creative vision work and technical skill and really enjoyed hearing his curvy road to landing his current role with Nickelodeon!

Ally and I chat about what it means to advocate for developers in tech, what's exciting in the tech industry today, and how she made the leap from cafe owner to this totally different role. Love a good career change story!

Doug and I talk about how he became a drug researcher, the value of failure, biases that interfere with research, and get excited about how synthetic drugs are still just scratching the surface of possibility. Hope you enjoy it!

Doug and I talk about how he became a drug researcher, why drug science has been doing it wrong for a long time and get excited about how synthetic drugs are still just scratching the surface of possibility. Hope you enjoy it!

Today, we get curious about the world of HR and consulting with Tamara. She's worked for corporate, governmental, and not-for-profits and has expertise in leadership and team dynamics. Let's hear about what she does and how she got there!

Alex is the author of a couple series of fun sci-fi books, including the Andrea Vernon series of novels (Audible's best science fiction book of 2015!), and many other publications. In this chat, we talk about what it feels like to fall in love with an idea, how to believe in your work, and what the journey to publication was like for him. He's a genuinely funny writer, so it's no surprise this episode had me laughing along the way. Hope you enjoy it!

Megan has worked as a creative director, design strategist, and brand thinker for agencies, as a freelancer, and now for a major corporation. We chat about what this kind of work is like, how people get into this kind of work at any age, and what kind of people would love what she loves to do.

Just a little taste of the podcast for you. Laura Reynolds, one of the inspirations for this series, stops by to talk about what this is all about, why I'm doing it, and we get excited about who's up first as my guest for Episode 1, launching soon! (Thanks for the music, Unwritten Stories!)
