These distinguished guests to the podcast come from the Business Management classroom. Erin and Madison talk about their time in the program, why they chose it, and some of the pros to taking the Business Management class at NCK Tech. 

 

Enjoy! 

The next guest to the podcast is a Lincoln Kansas product. He is a first year electrical student on the Beloit campus, and not only that, he owns his own small business in Lincoln, Ks. He's had this side hustle since he was 15 years old.

 

 Chantz also talks about why he wanted to come to NCK Tech.

Julie McShane is the new contracted school psychologist at NCK Tech. She has an important message. It involves suicide and suicidal thoughts.

The conversation I have with Julie introduces her to the public, and then we talk a little about suicide, the causes, the effects, and what some of the signs are.

It's a very good, enlightening conversation that I think a lot of people need to hear.

In this epidsode of the Electric Chair Podcast, I talk with Business Management students (Beloit campus) Kaden Leiker and Elliot Kimminau, on what it was that got them thinking about taking the Business Management course. Most of the conversation hinges on the fact that they learned a TON of stuff in a collegiate schedule that allowed them to work and make money while attending college.

They chat about the curriculum, schedule, and how their business knowledge  will help them in their future. Having both taken a technical program the prior year, they point out how employable the combination of business with technical skills will make them.

Enjoy!

I sit the 6 students down, from the class of 2021, and have a discussion about their time in the Electrical Technology program. Open format. Many questions asked, some of them answered, and some of them were not. It was a fun interview.

Enjoy!

My next guest to the podcast is the new Student Activities Coordinator on the Beloit campus. Mrs. Duskie talks about her involvement with Leadership Mitchell County, and Kansas Beats the Virus campaigns. Also, the involvement of the community, and school.

 

We also hear the story about her Covid-19 experience.

 

Enjoy listening to Mrs. Shannon Duskie

This format is a bit different. I welcome Dr. Corey Isbell to the podcast, and we go over some to the ins and outs of NCK Tech's Covid protocol. He talks about what happens from the time you test positive, to the time you come back. Also where to go to get tested, and also more resources on the subject. He also calms some nerves for faculty as far as going back to virtual learning.

Since I’m a trophy husband, (and it’s exhausting) I didn’t get to ask Liz all of the questions I wanted, in part 1, of her Veteran podcast. So, I asked her back.

 

We talked about her college days after the military, her time as a stock broker, and then we dive back into air traffic control. It was a subject that intrigued me a ton.

 

I never knew how airline flights worked. I just thought that pilots had total control of where the plane went and how they flew. Liz debunked this.

 

This is another great podcast with a ton to learn. If you liked the first, you’ll definitely like this one.

 

Enjoy!!

The Marines just had their 245th birthday, and the next day, for Veteran's Day, I dropped this podcast of Liz Fixsen's. She's a former Marine, and Air Force vet that has a lot of cool stories.

She joined the Marines, on a whim, when she was 24. In boot camp, she was a tad older than some of her drill instructors. She has some cool stories about that.

She switched it up and went into the Air Force after 6 years where she did intel for the 442nd Fighter wing a.k.a. A-10 Thunderbolt "Warthog". She has cool stories about that.

She was an Air Traffic Controller too. Also, she has cool stories about that. I also learned more about the little airport in Beloit, Kansas, than I ever thought I would. Did you know that a C-130 Hercules can't land at the Beloit airfield? Neither did I. She tells why in the podcast.

Give it a listen, you won't be disappointed.

 

Enjoy!

This episode of the podcast features Danea Buschkoetter. She's an alumnus to the welding department, here at NCK Tech, and last year began her first year as an instructor of the welding department.

 

We sit and talk about her time as a student in welding, and hearing the fabled, "One more" and how, now as the instructor, she keeps that tradition alive with today's students.

 

We also chat about what it's like to be a Husker fan, drag racing, and girls garage, which she has recently became a part of. She loves anything that's metal, and goes fast. 

 

Don’t miss out.

 

Enjoy!
