It’s common to not know which direction to take in life and no one is going to figure it out for you. So why not ask other people about what they are doing to see if something clicks? Peter Ostapowicz sits down with a guest to talk about their experiences.

Big Announcement: The podcast has changed location. On this episode, I quickly wanted to talk about a recent change in my life that has impacted the podcast. I got a new job in the Columbus, OH area and have moved. Since the podcast’s guest are restricted by my geographic location, you will probably start to see more Columbus area businesses and people as guests. I also wanted to use this episode to go into a BRIEF story about the events leading up to the creation of this podcast and why I named it No Autocorrect.

David Allen Edmonds, or Herr Eds, was my high school German teacher for four years. He was one of my favorite teachers and probably the main reason why I stuck with German for so long. He has always been passionate about teaching and literature. After he retired, he published a book titled Personal Pronouns, which is available for purchase online or in a few local Akron-area book stores. We talk about what it was like when he started teaching compared to when he retired and how he never lost sight of working on his own book.

Part 2 of 2, where I sit down with my parents to talk about their careers. Joyce Johnson (Ostapowicz), my mom, has always worked many jobs at the same time. This includes being a tv and radio news broadcaster, a college professor, a journalist for the newspaper, a researcher for a private eye, and more. It is an understatement to say that she has done a lot with her career. The common theme that ties all of these jobs together though is that she is interested in all of them.
