Even though Father’s Day has come and gone, I am finally able to sit and reflect on why the work I do, connecting kids with their purpose, seems so personal.

It’s because it is. 

During this episode I share the story of two men, my dad and my husband, and their nontraditional pathway to professional success. Despite neither one having a formal 4-year degree, they both have careers that have lead them to work for Forbes 500 companies, local, state, and federal teams, while also staying deeply committed to their family. Their stories offer a relatable perspective on the magic that happens when people are able to align their work with their unique passions and purpose. Employees start to see possibilites they otherwise never would have imagined and employers a dedicated employee that will serve them well.
