Christina Weber did what most aspiring wildlife professionals think is impossible: she got every single offer she applied to with absolutely NO EXPERIENCE! How did she do it? That's what this week's episode of the Fancy Scientist Podcast is all about. After listening to this episode, I know you'll walk away inspired, ready to take action, and make things happen in your career so that you can work towards having a real impact on the species that need our help.I invited my former Successful Wildlife Professional student, Christina Weber, to come on the podcast because I have been so impressed by all the success she has achieved despite having no wildlife or environmental experience to get her foot in the door. When Christina began in the program, she was running a dog-walking business and had volunteered with horses, and needed help breaking into wildlife, conservation, or environmental work. Now she is working on a NASA-funded project and getting ready to start a summer internship at the American Museum of Natural History in NYC!Throughout our conversation, you'll learn exactly what Christina did to gain traction fast in her career. She took the program's advice and ran with it. And it WORKED. It worked so well that I honestly can't believe her results! She took experience into her own hands and started with citizen and community science (including regularly conducting eBird surveys). She took advantage of and attended one-off hands-on volunteer opportunities such as beach cleanups, seal monitoring, and horseshoe crab monitoring to start somewhere and meet people in the field.You'll hear how Christina maximized opportunities to network, including creating her own connections by cold emailing professionals with the templates provided in the Successful Wildlife Professional program, even though she describes herself as shy and introverted. Her networking efforts led to referrals, informational conversations, and REAL job opportunities.The results were incredible: Christina applied to four seasonal positions over the summer and was offered every one of them. She was even offered an AZA-accredited aquarium internship that she didn't apply for! The employer received her resume through a cold email and decided to put it in the internship pile! Christina was shocked when she received a call asking if she wanted to interview.Christina shares that now she's conducting research through a NASA-funded New Jersey Space Grant Consortium project on microplastic bioaccumulation in marine copepods. She explains how she designed a project connected to her ultimate goal of working with whales by studying what whales eat. When facing obstacles, she didn't let anything stop her, and she describes being “scrappy” in her community college setting by building equipment, culturing phytoplankton, and managing the costs and logistics of an ambitious project.We also talk about how much wildlife work involves working with people. Christina was even able to bring her past dog-walking experience into her wildlife work! She shares that she educated dog owners on responsible beach behavior around endangered piping plovers, using common ground from her dog walking business to communicate conservation messages effectively.After the interview, I offer you take-home points that you can apply right away to your own situation right now, no matter who you are, including how to volunteer without giving up your whole life or going into debt, using citizen/community science to build legitimate experience, get on LinkedIn strategically, and focus on quality over quantity in your job applications.If you ever thought you couldn't do something because you didn't have enough experience, go to the right school, or know the right people, Christina is living proof that you can do it on your own! There are NO excuses!Specifically, we talk about:Christina's exact steps from being a dog-walking business owner to working on a NASA-funded research projectWhy citizen and community science (like eBird surveys) can be a powerful way to build a real wildlife experienceSimple ways to gain hands-on exposure through short-term volunteer opportunities, such as beach or river cleanups, restoration projects, or other community service daysHow strategic networking and cold emailing professionals can open doors, even if you're shy or introvertedHow Christina used networking to get referrals, informational interviews, and unexpected job opportunitiesWhy she received job offers from every seasonal wildlife position she applied forThe surprising story of how she was offered an AZA-accredited aquarium internship she never applied for!An overview of her research on microplastic bioaccumulation in marine copepods through a NASA-funded projectHow she designed her research to align with her long-term goal of working with whales by studying their food sourcesHow she stayed resourceful in a community college setting by building equipment, culturing phytoplankton, and managing research logisticsWhy communication and working with people are a major part of wildlife careersPractical advice on volunteering without sacrificing your entire scheduleHow to use LinkedIn strategically to build relationships in the wildlife fieldWhy focusing on quality over quantity when applying for jobs can dramatically improve resultsThe mindset shift needed to stop waiting for perfect qualifications and start creating opportunitiesDream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist? Ready to turn your love of animals into a thriving career?

This week Andrew welcomes longtime baseball writer Ken Davidoff back to the podcast. For 30+ years, Ken lived his childhood dream of being a sportswriter. Then, at age 50, he decided it was time for a change and stepped down from his role as a baseball columnist at the New York Post. Now, Ken is an adjunct professor and the co-author of the new book 101 Lessons From The Dugout: What Baseball & Softball Can Teach Us About The Game Of Life. This conversation is a deep dive on Ken's decision to walk away from the job he dreamed about having as a kid – and an exploration of many simple (yet powerful) life lessons Ken shares in his book.

We are living in a golden age of pelvic health.There are more job opportunities, more practice models, and more flexibility than ever before.But with more options comes a harder question:

Two things that bother me, is when people ask what my dream job is, and what is my "why."  Just don't ask, because I am not playing that game with you. If you can't figure that out, then you may have a bigger problem than me. I will rebel against this question, by eating pineapple on pizza, and patiently waiting for the revolution. It's time for something big in this world, and I may be just too tired to care about it.

Looking for a little lavish getaway? Today Patty interviews Brent and Daniela Phillips about Milk and Honey Ranch, a luxury farm resort between Houston and Austin near Brenham, Round Top, and Blue Bell Ice Cream. Brent left a tech career after COVID, selling his company, and a Texas freeze exposed how unprepared he felt without power. He bought the land unexpectedly, first for family life and learning practical skills. After a financial hit, they listed their garage on Airbnb and it grew fast. Daniela survived a severe hydroplaning crash; while she was hospitalized, bookings surged 1300% as millions followed and prayed online. Guests come for animal experiences, especially mini Highland “cuddle cows,” plus alpacas, kangaroos, pigs, and goats. Next: a pond water park, golf simulator, and Promised Land Village for up to 40.Find out more and connect with Brent, Daniela, and Milk and Honey:Website: https://milkandhoneyranch.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/milkandhoneyranchtxIG: https://www.instagram.com/MilkandHoneyRanch/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx3IjbNw1kMIYHYl81hJxNQLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/milk-honey-ranch/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@milkandhoneyranchEpisode Highlights:00:00 Meet Brent & Daniela + the viral rooster sculpture story01:15 What is Milk & Honey Ranch?

Episode Description:This archival conversation with Ramit Sethi is a masterclass in systems thinking, behavioral psychology, and building a “rich life” on your own terms.Long before online courses were mainstream, Ramit was quietly building scalable systems—automating money, testing business ideas rigorously, and rejecting conventional wisdom around careers, housing, and passion. In this conversation, he explains why most advice fails, why willpower is overrated, and how to engineer results instead of hoping for inspiration.They cover negotiation psychology, competence triggers, breaking into dream jobs without HR, why buying a house isn't always the best investment, and how to build a real online business—from research to first sale.This episode still holds up because it's not about hacks. It's about structure. Systems. Leverage. And testing instead of guessing.What You'll Learn:Why analyzing your own behavior (even on video) is one of the fastest ways to improveThe concept of “competence triggers” and how to use them in interviews and negotiationsWhy most financial advice (like skipping lattes) focuses on the wrong problemsHow to negotiate salary without anchoring yourself to your current payThe step-by-step system for building an online business—from research to first saleTimestamped Chapters:[00:02:00] Human Behavior, Willpower & Cognitive Misers[00:03:00] Ramit's Origin Story: Scholarships, Interviews & Self-Analysis[00:06:00] The Power of Videotaping Yourself[00:08:00] Losing Money & Discovering Personal Finance Psychology[00:09:00] Why Latte Advice Doesn't Work[00:11:00] Automating Money & Designing a Rich Life[00:14:00] The Housing Myth & Financial “Great Lies”[00:18:00] How to Land a Dream Job (Without HR)[00:20:00] Negotiation Tactics & Avoiding Salary Anchors[00:28:00] Competence Triggers & Social Signaling[00:34:00] Why Courses Beat Books (For Results)[00:38:00] Zero to Launch: Why Most Passive Income Advice Is Wrong[00:41:00] Research Before Building: Finding Profitable Ideas[00:44:00] Writing Headlines That Sell[00:49:00] Traffic Strategy: Guest Posting & Email Lists[00:52:00] Case Study: Turning Tutoring into $200KAdditional Resources:Ramit Sethi's WebsiteI Will Teach You to Be Rich - The BookSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

After 12 years as the Work Futurist at Atlassian, Dom Price made the decision to leave a role so intertwined with who he was that even introducing himself meant saying those two things in the same breath. In this episode, Dom and I explore the human side of change - the fog, the discomfort, the loss of structure, and the surprising freedom that comes when you finally say out loud, “I don’t know yet.” Dom walks me through the reflection process that led to this moment, how he’s sitting with uncertainty rather than trying to outrun it, and the identity untangling that comes with stepping away from a global brand. We also dive into what he’s seeing inside boardrooms right now, why so many leaders are struggling to adapt to AI, and the mindset shift that separates those who thrive from those who wait it out. Dom and I discuss: The realisation that it was time for change - even without knowing what came next How Dom uses the “five Ls” every 90 days to check in on what’s working and what’s not The emotional rollercoaster of losing structure, status, and the adrenaline of a big corporate role How trusted friends helped Dom challenge his assumptions and experiment with “trying before buying” in his next chapter What leaders are getting wrong about AI and transformation - and the three patterns Dom sees repeatedly in boardrooms The human side of tech change and why organisations must upgrade their human systems, not just their technical ones Why productivity gains don’t matter unless you know how to reinvest the time The leadership behaviours that matter most in times of rapid change KEY QUOTES “Even though it was just one word, it felt like the wrapper around my whole identity.” “I had to say out loud, I’m okay not knowing what that is — and that was the hard bit.” “When you take away those foundations, it’s like a shot of discomfort I hadn’t felt for a long time.” Connect with Dom Price on Instagram, LinkedIn and his website.

Send us a textReady to land a midwifery job that actually fits your philosophy, pace, and life? We open up about our own first-job journeys—what went right, what we'd change, and how each step shaped our expectations. From researching practice models to reading culture, we walk through the practical prep that matters most: knowing how the team truly functions, how midwives share call, and how collaboration shows up when the unit gets busy.We also get tactical about interviewing without sounding scripted. You'll hear simple ways to show your value as a new grad, even without L&D experience: bring a lean portfolio, summarize your clinical sites and numbers, and frame weaknesses as active growth plans. We share the questions that reveal the soul of a practice—what a clinic day really looks like, how decisions are made, and where midwives can train in procedures like first assist, colpos, or circumcisions. We also address the productivity myth, explaining how OB-heavy roles unlock revenue capacity across the team while improving access and experience.Career seasons don't always unfold on your timeline, and that's okay. We talk about handling rejection as redirection, running mock interviews with mentors, and keeping notes on what bothers you so you can ask sharper questions next time. If you want a job that respects physiologic birth and evidence, values your voice, and gives you room to grow, this conversation will help you get there.#DreamCatch #BabyCatchers #MidwifeLife #NewGradMidwife #MidwivesSupportMidwives #MidwiferyCareers @growmidwives

Women comprise 75% of the healthcare workforce and make the majority of family healthcare decisions—yet hold only 20% of senior leadership positions. Dr. Amy Compton-Phillips, Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of CVS Health, sees this gap as more than unfair. At CVS Health, Dr. Amy oversees clinical strategy for 9,000 community access points with a clear mission: simplify healthcare and make the right thing the easy thing. "We've put things like electronic medical records, narrow insurance networks, and administrative rigmarole between patients and people who can help them," she explains. "How can we start taking layers out?" But she didn't reach this role by following the traditional playbook. She turned down her dream job because the timing wasn't right for her family. She went part-time during peak career years, trading off with her husband as their priorities shifted. And she's consistently been tapped on the shoulder for opportunities rather than raising her hand, which taught her that doing your current job exceptionally well matters more than constantly positioning for the next one. In this conversation, Dr. Amy explains why healthcare needs women's voices at the executive table for design thinking that actually works, how she and her husband negotiated dual careers through different life stages, why "performance gets you the podium" but authenticity and strategic thinking get you the C-suite, and what it takes to be heard when you're the only woman in leadership rooms. Whether you're balancing clinical practice with administrative responsibilities, navigating when to say yes and no to opportunities, or building toward senior healthcare leadership, this is uncommon honesty about the trade-offs and strategies that actually matter. Key Takeaways: Do your current job exceptionally well—performance gets you noticed before you ever raise your hand Design healthcare systems with women's voices at the table; they're both the workforce majority and primary family decision-makers Negotiate career trade-offs with your partner over time; one person doesn't have to sacrifice permanently Saying no to your dream job might be the smartest move you make—if they value you, they'll come back Taking layers out of complexity requires intentional design thinking, not just adding more solutions Figure out what's working and what's not, then adjust your strategy—sometimes you need to literally or metaphorically elevate yourself to be heard About the Guest: Dr. Amy Compton-Phillips is Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of CVS Health, where she leads clinical strategy across 9,000 community locations. She previously served as President and Chief Clinical Officer at Providence, a $25 billion health system with 52 hospitals and 120,000 caregivers, where she led the response to the first confirmed COVID-19 case in the United States. Earlier, she spent 22 years at Kaiser Permanente, rising from front-line internist to Chief Quality Officer. A CNN Medical Analyst and keynote speaker, she has served on boards including HIMSS, the Institute for Systems Biology, and Wellcare. She holds her bachelor's degree from Johns Hopkins University and her medical degree from the University of Maryland School of Medicine.

What does it look like to be deeply rooted in Christ in a world of cultural chaos? In this Ask Mark Anything episode, Mark Vance responds to honest questions from the Cornerstone Church community about faithfulness in everyday life—especially when culture, technology, and suffering raise complex tensions.From staying consistent in spiritual habits, to navigating social media and marketing with integrity, to honoring God in our vocations, Mark offers biblical wisdom that is both grounded and practical. The conversation also addresses deeply pastoral questions about grief, infants and intellectual disability, and how Christians can trust God's goodness when Scripture doesn't provide simple answers. The episode closes with a thoughtful discussion on artificial intelligence, urging believers to engage wisely—using technology as a tool that serves human flourishing rather than replacing it.Episode Highlights01:33 — What is delighting you about Jesus right now in your scripture reading? 05:17 — Is there a Christian way to do marketing and sales? 10:16 — Should we avoid social media? 12:41 — Is there a hierarchy of holiness in vocation? What should we be doing with our time and lives?20:04 — How do we think about infants (or those with childlike cognitive ability) who die without being able to profess anything? 29:35 — Can AI be my doctor? Could AI be my counselor? How should Christians think about the everyday role AI plays in their life? 33:48 — What's the “monk vs. missionary” idea when it comes to AI and technology?ResourcesCornerstone Church Sermons: Listen onlineThe Spring Spiritual Workout PlanGod at Work — Gene Edward Veith

Kick off the New Year with a favorite Hello Monday activity: the Dream Job Exercise.  In this episode, host Jessi Hempel kicks off the new year with a powerful ritual she returns to every January: the Dream Job Exercise.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Would you ever walk away from a "dream job" to start over from scratch? And if you've spent years building a career inside big brands, does it ever feel like it might be too late to launch your own agency? Most people talk about leaving their corporate job to chase something bigger. Very few actually do it, and even fewer jump without a parachute. Today's featured guest is one of those rare ones. After nearly two decades leading social, content, and influencer teams for household brands, he walked away from his so called dream job to start his own shop without any safety net. Today, he calls himself a brand guy who happens to own an agency. Eric Gray is the owner of Maverick Content Studio, a twelve person, social-first agency for Fortune 500 brands. After a long and successful career in corporate, where he spent eighteen years building high performing social and content teams for companies like Universal Parks & Resorts, Eric realized he did not want the future he saw in front of him. He left Universal with two months of savings and zero clients. His story is a blueprint for leaders wondering whether to leave corporate and build something of their own Today his team works with brands like Advent Health, Winn-Dixie, and Travel + Leisure, helping them build audience, loyalty, and relevance through social-first content. In this episode, we'll discuss: Why target Fortune 500 brands? Why most agencies fail at building their own brand. Leaning on the power of personal brands. The hardest challenge of growing a young agency.

Walking Away from the Corporate Dream Job At age forty-one, Eric had success on paper but a growing dissatisfaction in real life. He was leading big teams, holding a prestigious role, and doing work others envied. But he felt stuck inside a corporate machine that limited purpose and impact. Although he's thankful for the time he spent in that world, he didn't believe he was living his full purpose inside an organization with lots of bureaucracy. With the support of his family and his pastor, Eric decided he didn't want to get to his later years wishing he had taken more risks and took the jump to find out what could happen if he bet on himself. Leaving was messy, scary, and absolutely not the playbook move. No freelancing ramp up. No contracted clients. It was no tidy transition. Yet he trusted that his experience and network would open the next chapter. Looking back, it did. Why Target Fortune 500 Brands? Most new agency founders start small. Eric went in the opposite direction. He targeted enterprise brands from day one because that is where his expertise lived. He had already built the blueprint inside Universal Parks & Resorts and believed he could help other brands treat social as more than an afterthought. Eric knew many enterprise brands still underinvest in social. They focus on one big campaign or hero asset while ignoring the loyalty and connection that is built through consistent storytelling. His agency's entire model revolves around what he calls the connection strategy. It is the belief that brands win when they create emotional relevance around the stories customers already care about. Furthermore, large brands have large scopes, which also means you do not need forty clients. You just need the right five. That became a core advantage as they started growing. Building the Early Client List Through Relationships Eric did not cold call or blast DMs. He leaned into what he had spent years building. A strong network with strong relationships. Most of their early clients came from people who had worked with Eric before, or from friends of those people inside other major brands. Big companies talk to each other more than you think. This doesn't mean it was easy for them. They still have a lot of work to do to break through. But if you invest in your network before you need it, it becomes your biggest shortcut when you step into entrepreneurship. Why Most Agencies Fail at Building Their Own Brand But Eric points out that almost no agencies truly build their own brand. They hide behind their walls and hope referrals save them. Others talk about themselves, focusing mainly on their people, process, and portfolio. Meanwhile they tell clients to produce consistent content, invest in story, and build an audience. When Eric launched Maverick, he refused to be another guy who leaves a corporate job and posts the generic LinkedIn announcement. He started building his personal brand alongside the agency's brand from day one, and worked with his wife to make his agency look and feel much larger than its actual humble beginnings from their home offce. Perception matters if you want to enter rooms above your weight class. The Power of a Personal Brand Eric leaned into his background in sports radio and launched the Radical Content podcast. Within a few months he secured major guests like the former CMO of Chick-fil-A, the head of digital for NASCAR, and leaders from Crocs and other major brands. Those interviews became relationships. Those relationships became visibility. And that visibility opened doors for the agency. The agency's channels became secondary to Eric's personal channels. Not because the company brand did not matter, but because personal brand builds trust faster than corporate messaging. Systems, Volume, and Practicing What You Preach Eric put serious resources into his content system. It started rough, with a single producer who did not fully work out. But it evolved into an eight person content ecosystem producing weekly episodes, daily clips, statics, and text posts. He treats his own brand as the test kitchen for the strategies they deploy for clients. When you do that, the content feels authentic and the results are real. For him, if you stay in the background and don't talk about who you are and what you do, you're losing valuable opportunities to build your audience. You should be the guinea pig for everything you sell. The Hardest Challenge of Growing a Young Agency Two types of struggles hit new founders: agency struggles and the first time entrepreneur struggles. On the agency side, Eric is unrelenting on talent. He will not hire someone just because they have experience. Their standards are high, which means the search takes longer. Orlando is growing but not a major market for high level social and content talent. They once received nine hundred applicants for a creative director role. On the founder side, the hardest challenge is mental. Building a company that feeds twelve families is a heavy responsibility. The expectations you have for where you think you should be often do not match where you actually are. That gap can mess with your head. Eric uses a list of personal non negotiables to stay mentally sharp: hard morning workouts, time with faith, reading goals daily, taking short breaks during the day, reviewing priorities, and going to bed on time. The last one is the hardest for him. But like most discipline problems, skipping the basics is usually what leads to feeling off. Why Agency Entrepreneurship Requires a Long Game Mindset For Eric, entrepreneurship is staring the hard thing in the face and moving forward anyway, which is where his non-negotiables come in. For his part, Jason has always treated entrepreneurship as a game. Sometimes you do everything right and still get hit with a bad roll of the dice. The goal is not perfection. It is persistence. The memories you keep are rarely the easy seasons. They are the nights you and your team fought through the hard stuff. For this reason, his advice for agency owners is to have fun along the way. Don't wait until your kids are grown or your agency is sold to live. Make the journey the part you enjoy. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

Today Nicole sits down with celebrated journalist Daryn Kagan and her husband, Trent Swanson—though around here, we call him The Miles Husband. Daryn reflects on the highs of her career as a news anchor and what it felt like when CNN didn't renew her contract. She shares how she navigated that turning point, what it taught her about financial security, and how she redefined success. Daryn also gives her strategy for creating the role you want and shares a message for anyone still waiting on their dream career, relationship, or family. Then, Trent breaks down how a little curiosity about credit card points turned into a full-on travel hacking strategy that now has the couple flying around the world in luxury for next to nothing... and how you can, too!

In this episode, I break down exactly how I landed a dream project—not through luck, connections, or waiting to "get discovered," but by creating the kind of work I wanted to be hired for. I share the full strategy behind building a spec portfolio, crafting content marketing around it, and ultimately generating a wave of viral visibility that positioned me as the go-to creator for that exact style of work. If you've ever felt stuck waiting for the "right" clients to find you, this is the blueprint for taking control of your opportunities and building demand around your passion. https://jamespatrick.com/ https://www.instagram.com/jpatrickphoto/
