Many of my guests I met while they were in their careers.  In this episode, you get to meet Amanda Lynch, a family friend that I knew as a teenager and followed her life after high school to collegiate swimming at the University of Northern Iowa, and then see her make a choice to move on from the pool to discover life in exercise science and into a world that has helped many seniors live healthier lives through the Fortified Life with the Western Home Communities.

We talk about mental health, making tough choices, and taking advantage of opportunities that don’t always happen as soon as you want them to.

This is a treat for me, as I get to bring one of my career mentors in broadcasting, Bill Jordan, on the podcast.  I met bill in 1996 when I interned for Bill & Sheri in the Morning on Mix 101.5 in Raleigh, North Carolina.  That experience took me away from Iowa to face reality on my own. Not only did I learn a tremendous amount of things about radio, but I also met Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski and Darius Rucker from Hootie and the Blowfish.

Today, Bill has retired from the radio business but keeps busy still announcing (you will hear him at the open and close of this podcast), being a grandfather, and started a movement with ‘Embrace the Boom’ that created coffee mugs, YouTube videos and now it has made him an author. - GET THE BOOK

In this episode, we learn the pathway of a former NCAA College Basketball player to a world he never thought he would cross after sports.

My friend Adam Viet and I met in the early 2000s while I was working at the University of Northern Iowa in Athletic Marketing, and Adam was coming off the bench to shoot 3-pointers for the Panthers.  We connected back a few years ago when he found the world of employment recruitment after discovering that personal training (exercise science major) and a call center job in the insurance industry were not for him.

Adam will tell you that communication and being a proactive "go-getter" are what employers are looking for in today's job market.  He will give you tips in this episode on how to show that in an interview.

In this episode, we get to hear about a world of work that I would be confident in saying no one thinks much about, but you should.  

With almost 30 years of experience in the profession of Food Science, Jennifer Lindsey (VP Global Marketing at Corbion) charts through the process from going through college on a medical path to one day being a part of designing butter for movie theater popcorn and formulating methods for the ready to eat rice crispy treats.

She has found her energy and purpose in combining business and science in the work she does as it fits one of the key Physiological needs in Maslow's hierarchy of needs. She honestly says she is in her dream job using science to create benefits for our lives.

Her advice to people:  Never stop learning, make self-awareness a priority in knowing your weaknesses and strengths, be vulnerable and empathetic. This applies to any path you follow.
