    Not Enough to Go Around with Dion Dawson

    There's a difference between hunger and food insecurity. Hunger is a feeling. Food insecurity is a systemic problem. Dion Dawson has experienced both sides of this issue and is doing his part to change the narrative. Listen as he shares his thoughts on the idea that there is not enough to go around. Coming out of high school Dion wanted nothing more than to know where his next meal was coming from. He was smart and motivated, but his aspirations paled in the face of simply having security. That's the reason he chose to go into the military. After leaving the military, he had a long road of figuring out what he wanted out of life and why he was placed on this Earth. It took a youth in his neighborhood asking about his plans for Juneteenth for him to realize why he was here. It never occurred to him before that moment that he was a leader in his community. Once that trait was brought to light he couldn't put it to bed. Listen as he shares how he went from an idea to a million dollar plus business focused on solving the issue of hunger in America. Dion is the epitome of inspirational and we are beyond excited to share his story.  In this episode:[01:14] Learn about Dion's aspirations as a young man. [03:28] He only decided on going to the military out of fear of hunger and poverty. [04:57] What happened after he left the military?[09:59] How did he decide that his not-for-profit was for him? [15:25] It's not about hunger, it's about food insecurity.[17:39] If it's not illegal and it's not immoral, then it's on the table.

    Rachael and Eunice have had some pretty crazy adventures as they figured out their right job fit. In a previous episode, they started to share some of those stories, but decided it was time to dive back in. Listen as they share their favorite jobs, most exciting jobs, and some crazy situations you'd never think were real life. Wondering what Eunice would think of as the best job? How about the person at the bank who rectifies the money? She got to learn all about how the bank deals with fraud AND got down and dirty with the entire check processing system. (Creative accounting in the 90s required a checkbook!)It wasn't all fun and games though. Rachael has worked in a very wide variety of jobs, to include the mental health population of a correctional facility. To say that that job caused her anxiety would be an understatement. Listen in to hear all about that harrowing experience. Both ladies have been let go from positions, but as usual, Rachael's termination was way more dramatic. She takes the cake on the craziest stories. For this episode she shared all about her time as a track and field referee during the junior Olympics. Let's just say that of the two of them, you'd better watch your back around Rachael. (Hint: She's 100% that snitch!)In all seriousness, we had a blast recounting some of our crazy stories. So much so that we're planning on doing more of these episodes in upcoming seasons. Stay tuned!In this episode:[00:01] Welcome back to season 4![01:46] We share which jobs we thought were our best jobs. For Eunice it was working in a bank. [05:11] Back in the day, people wrote checks as frequently as they now use debit cards. [08:28] We take a trip down memory lane and chat about how gas prices have changed. [09:41] Rachael shares her most exciting job. [11:57] Which jobs made them decide they didn't want to work anymore? [15:50] For Rachael it got so bad that she was having panic attacks. [17:41] Eunice worked in the restaurant industry and it was not for her. [20:05] Servers in the U.S. do not make a base pay of minimum wage. Learn more. [22:00] Learn more about the difference between how we operate in the U.S. versus other countries. [23:32] We've both been let go from a job in the past, but those just weren't the right ones. [27:12] Eunice's termination was much less dramatic than Rachael's. [28:43] We share some moments that weren't funny at the time but looking back they were impactful. [32:53] As usual, Rachael has some crazy moments that you wouldn't believe happened in real life. [42:11] And now you know, Rachael would definitely be the snitch in this relationship. [45:16] Season 4 is all about the entrepreneurs!Links and Resources:Stay connected with the PGD FamKeep in touch with us by Subscribing and Following us on our socials ...Website PGD InnovationsBuy our book OUT NOW PGD BooksPGD on Facebook  (We go live every Friday at 6pm for Fruit Punch Fridays)PGD on InstagramPGD on TikTok PGD on Twitter  PGD on YouTube  Have good news to share or careers you want us to explore...

    One of the goals of this podcast is to share the stories of people in all different places of life. Joshua Santiago started his journey in life in a very rough situation. Listen as he shares his story and why he's cutting in the confidence for so many around the nation. Joshua comes from a family who have been entrenched in addiction and abuse. Rather than feeling loved and supported in his early years, he felt abandoned and unwanted. School was not the sanctuary it could have been and instead he started running in crowds that were doing some really bad things. He dropped out of high school and soon found himself on the wrong end of the law. He had just received his diploma and was on his way to lock up. Rather than letting that defeat him, he went to school to become a barber and found a new lease on life. When he was denied his barber's license, he could have given up, but instead he leaned into his ultimate passion. He created a non-profit to help serve the homeless and underprivileged in his and other neighborhoods. Joshua has had quite a life so far, but what rings most true is his passion to help those who are much less fortunate than he. He is generating real change in the world.
