Career Adventure Audio Experience w/ Nate Clayberg

Peter Hostrawser took full advantage of getting his Valpo University education paid to earn a degree in broadcasting but realized that wasn't what he was wired for. Even though his father told him not to do it, he aspired to the classroom. As an active high school business teacher, Peter has found that he isn't a “check the box” teacher. He has taken a growth mindset to influence entrepreneurship methods to build skills and a portfolio to head into life after high school. He believes that learning doesn't end in school but continues throughout your life. He is taking learning from K to Gray. And he has been called by his students as the Gary Vaynerchuk of education.

Loren Kelly was deadset on becoming a high school business teacher but realized how awesome yet challenging secondary education can be. Her husband is a Naval Aviator, so as a military spouse, she saw how her life would change based on their location domestically and abroad. Making these uncomfortable changes for two people from small midwest towns became a career advantage for both. She set her sights on getting into higher education and evolved into working outside of the W2 world as a Career Coach, Career Consultant, and Resume writer. This career option developed when her family moved to the United Kingdom. It opened up opportunities for online connections and remote workshops and training. Loren found that she was good at doing the career and training work even though she didn't believe how good she was. Once she reflected on that work and the success she had with engaging people in that work, she trusted herself to move her career forward. Imposter syndrome became real because it was something she had not formally done before. But her mentors helped her bring that vision they saw to reality.

Stephanie Short is the Vice President of Partnerships at America Succeeds, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit policy-advocacy organization committed to improving education and preparing students to succeed in the workforce. She went into college as an undecided major and took a break from school to work in the real world at various jobs. She found that she was checking the boxes for others on her career path not to disappoint others. The increased anxiety made her feel like a failure and had a chip on her shoulder because she didn't take the straight path to a career. She discovered a passion for marketing and went back to school for marketing and business. Part of her work now is educating people on the importance of “durable skills.” Biggest Takeaway— We need to build students' durable skills, so they can adapt to the changing work economy and succeed. 0:50 High school and college 3:30 Taking a break from college 9:34 First marketing jobs 11:14 Starting own consulting business 13:06 America Succeeds 16:00 Durable skills 20:04 Workforce shortage 23:30 How to teach kids durable skills Stephanie Short https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniefshort/ https://twitter.com/stephfshort https://americasucceeds.org/ https://americasucceeds.org/portfolio/the-high-demand-for-durable-skills-october-2021 --- Continue to enjoy this journey, share, and subscribe to 'The That's a Job?

In this episode, I get to reflect on the conversations and relationships that I have started and nurtured through the first 20 episodes of this podcast. Each guest had a great story of the work they thought they would be doing, what job they ended up in, the transition to find one that they really can be passionate about, then finding the work they are wired to do.

In this episode, I get to introduce you to someone I met quite a few years back when I was initially exploring entrepreneurship and had the idea of publishing a travel magazine. Mike Hahn was working with small businesses at the University of Northern Iowa, and he helped me see that was not something I should pursue. Mike is unusual as he knew as a teenager that he wanted to work with businesses and communities, and he has made a career in that work in Iowa, North Dakota, and Minnesota. He talks in the podcast about how building durable skills and relationships are key to success, plus as he has seen in his work, don't be afraid to try things and fail.

In this episode, you get to know Tim Schurrer. Tim began his Career Adventure thinking he would be the next John Mayer but then realized that singing and songwriting were not what he was wired to do. It turns out logistics and operations were the work that fit him. In his journey, he discovered that he needed to redefine success and fame, and that success lay in giving assistance to those around him, and choosing a lifestyle over title and company brand was what he needed. I was drawn to Tim through his work with Don Miller and Story Brand, a program I have been involved in for a number of years, and when I heard a recent interview with Tim on a podcast I had to connect with him. His book The Secret Society of Success showcases the unsung heroes behind many famous brands and names that would not be what they are now if it wasn't for them.

In this episode, you get to meet Daniel Alfon. He followed a past from believing he would be a judge in the legal system but then found that helping people go from point A to point B. He saw that was the work he was wired to do, and that led to building a career in training. Today he is an expert in helping people make the most of their Linkedin profile to help their careers and professions. Daniel was drawn to LinkedIn during his career in business intelligence as he was investigating people to connect to within different companies around the globe. LinkedIn cut the amount of time it took to find and connect with people for the sales role he had with the company he worked for. He now trains people to better leverage their profile on the platform, not as a digital resume, but as a personal website to convert the reader to connect with you.

In this episode, you get to meet someone who, unknowingly, connected me to so many people that have had a big impact on my work and how I have found purpose. Jody Maberry began his career as a Financial Analyst then went to work for the National Park Service and ended up hosting and producing podcasts for former Disney Parks leaders and has interviewed countless entrepreneurs. He unpacks how an opportunity was created after interviewing former VP of Disney World Lee Cockerell turned into a whole new career for him, and how the COVID-19 Pandemic opened up more doors for Jody and his clients. But you may be surprised he still aspires to be back as a leader in a park service.

In this episode, you get to meet Lauren Johnson. I met Lauren at the Brand You Live event in Denver, Colorado in April 2022 through Mike Kim. Lauren thought she would get into Physical Therapy coming out of high school. Still, when a career-ending soccer injury happened, gaining her fifth concussion, she discovered that the body is not the only thing that needs therapy after an injury. The mental health challenges around athletic injuries can be challenging for athletes to recover from. She prided herself on executing the right things as a player and takes that mentality into her profession. The characteristics that made her a good soccer player: work ethic, attention to detail, and ability to learn at a high level translate very well to the real world. Those traits took her to the New York Yankees as a mental performance coach before she launched into leading her own company.

In this episode, I get to introduce you to someone who has been key in expanding the network of people I know, Bari Richter. Bari had aspirations for vet school but found that the academic path wasn't for her, but on her way to finding her sweet spot in helping business owners, she studied psychology and business. In that Career Adventure, she found the traits she looked for in hiring people was an overall good attitude, but they needed to be willing to learn, contribute and be a team player. If that was the case, they would be successful under her leadership. We learn about her path into the Casino business and out of it, that is when she found where she is supposed to be, and it includes networking for others, not just for herself.

In this episode, we talk to a former engineer now turned coach, that found her way to helping others now after having some great experiences in a very technical profession. However, she learned that technical skills do not prepare you for leadership roles as you climb the company ladder. We will listen to Tara's account of how others had plans and ideas for her life that she followed. From being told to be an engineer because she was good at math and the path that took. She did find purpose in her work overseeing many Dams in the western part of the US, but she wondered if she was an imposter or fraud when she was placed in some roles. She had to act qualified to do them, not for others, but for herself. A feeling that many of us tend to have in our professions.

Meet Alvin Cowan is the guest on this episode, and it was great to meet him through a mutual connection and to hear his Career Adventure from being a quarterback at Yale and not wanting to follow the “usual' path of those alumni to work on Wall Street or for a U.S. Senator. He still had NFL aspirations, but that didn't pan out for him. That took him to Romania and Eastern Europe where he discovered an interest in show producing through some questionable business practices that sent him to California to pursue acting, although he had no previous experience. Once he was able to take off the “armor” his acting coach told him he had, he found some traction in that work and even shot a scene in the Clint Eastwood movie American Sniper with Bradley Cooper. As with football, he found acting was a passion he had, but he found a real purpose in the work behind the camera in the writer's room. He has had recent success with his podcast American Coyote, a story that gave me a real insight into some innovations happening in Hollywood and has given Alvin a pathway to his dream job.

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 CHECK OUT the 15 Practices to help you lead a more fulfilling, peaceful, and meaningful life.

She found that business operations was the path for her, and spent many years working the late shift for a printing company. She knew that life didn't sit right for her, but she thought that a role in management will make her more engaged, even after getting a master's degree. But her work experience didn't get any better, especially when you have to cut budgets and cut workers loose. But she found a way out of that world when she started listening to her body when it said something didn't feel right.

Welcome aboard for Episode Zero of the That's a Job? podcast The foundation for this podcast is to showcase jobs and professions that many people may not know, or really don't know what kind of work is done in those roles. This podcast is about piquing the interest of people about jobs, professions, vocations, or lines of work that they haven't heard of. Or even jobs you have heard of, but don't really know what they are. I have seen all kinds of jobs, and I have had probably more than my fair share of jobs too. Some you will know, others you won't. I can tell you I didn't know about some of the ones I ended up in as I was on my Career Adventure. We only know what we know, and we don't know what we don't know. You probably have a pretty good idea of what teachers, doctors lawyers, bus drivers, pastors, and website developers do. But what do perfusionists, data analysts, art therapists, doulas, food scientists, and ocularists do in their work? This show will introduce you to jobs, careers, and work that many people don't really know about and how people get into that role.

Mike launched his Brand You Bootcamp (www.mikekim.com/start) at the first part of the year, and joining that and his Branding Collective group have helped my business find traction in the career development space. You will hear in this inaugural episode of the Career Adventure podcast all about how he went from wanting to be a movie theater usher to the personal branding and marketing expert he is today.

What I would encourage parents to do is to allow your kids to explore their interests, their curiosities. We need to shine a bigger light not only new beginnings, but new endings are just as important.

Presenting Sponsor of the Career Adventure Podcast*The Motivators Assessment* Learn more about what really motivates you at www.whatmotivates.me What motivates me? Problem Solving, Learning, Developing Others, Pressure, Excitement, Impact, and Autonomy ----- Welcome aboard the Career Adventure Podcast. The show dedicated to changing the dynamic with parents, educators, and coaches in helping to guide students to a purposeful, prosperous and passionate life after graduation. I believe that people should do work that motivates them and fits what they are wired to do. And this show is designed to help you find that pathway to a successful Career Adventure. This is the prequel, the backstory on why I am doing this and where I am hoping to see it go. One questions you may have for me? Is who is this guy and how can he help anyone with finding their pathway to a career that fits them with purpose, prosperity, and passion? It's a good question that should be asked? I have spent my 20-plus years as a working professional in many different industries and roles. Something looking back, that now I can see there was a plan for. But that wasn’t how I always saw it. (Learn more about me in the episode) The first “official” episode for the Career Adventure podcast will launch August 1 on whatever platform you get your podcasts. I prefer Overcast, but Stitcher, Apple Podcasts and others are great too. We will talk to guests that you will know of, and other you will be introduced to. These will be for the odd numbered episodes. Many will be people I have met along my Career Adventure, through different network circles. It will be special for me to catch up with former coworkers, bosses and friends. Plus we will connect with other experts when it comes to learning more about college and career topics. For the even episodes, will be content driven from me. These will be topics I am working through and learning, and will want you to be a part of that and have you relay them to your Career Adventure. Generally I will keep these episodes at about 20-30 minutes in length. Sometimes a little more, and sometimes a little less. I always figured that is enough time for you during your commute, your workout or just taking time to listen and learn. I do look forward to having you subscribe to this podcast and hear future episodes on how we can work together in helping to build a Career Adventure that will motivate you to a career that is purposeful, will make you prosperous in life and you will become passionate about the work you do.
