How do finance leaders enable growth while fostering a culture of partnership, positivity, and saying yes? In this episode, CJ interviews Ed Park, Head of FP&A at Facebook during its explosive hypergrowth years, Head of Finance and Internal Operations at Asana, the current CFO of Daffy, and a “glass-half-full” finance leader. Ed shares stories about working at Facebook in the early days, how he brought finance into the company's engineering and product-first culture, and how he built trust while navigating rapid user and infrastructure expansion. He talks about his role at Asana, why the company plans in episodes, not quarters, how they discovered their unique “three user” metric, and how they transitioned from bottoms-up to sales-led growth. Ed also gives an introduction to donor-advised funds and how Daffy, his current company, is disrupting this field. The conversation covers how a company's business model shapes its destiny, finding the balance between what's urgent and what's important, and Ed's glass-half-full approach to being a finance leader who enables teams by saying yes.—LINKS:Edward Park on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/edwardyparkDaffy: https://www.daffy.orgCJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: RELATED EPISODES:Big Systems Thinking for Building a Finance Org: Advice From a Zoom Hypergrowth Survivor — —TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) Preview and Intro(02:16) Sponsor – Aleph | RightRev | Navan(06:43) Ed's First Job at a Startup: Head of FP&a at Facebook(11:35) Bringing Finance Into an Engineering and Product-Led Culture(16:42) Sponsor – Rillet | Pulley | Brex(20:34) Balancing What Was Urgent Versus Important(25:02) Monetizing Facebook(26:48) Becoming a Glass-Half-Full Finance Leader(33:27) Managing Four Chefs at Asana(35:38) How Asana Plans in Episodes, Not Quarters(42:48) Monetization Model Intuition and the “Three User” Metric(48:13) Transitioning From Bottoms-Up to Proactive Sales at Asana(53:24) Daffy's Monetization Model and Donor-Advised Fund Innovation(57:34) How a Business Model Shapes Destiny(1:00:02) Ed's “How Might We” Approach to Being a CFO(1:01:56) Long-Ass Lightning Round: A Big Mistake(1:04:38) Advice to Younger Self(1:05:44) Finance Software Stack(1:07:57) Craziest Expense Story—SPONSORS:Aleph automates 90% of manual, error-prone busywork, so you can focus on the strategic work you were hired to do.

Drawing from real case studies and firsthand accounts, I explain how seemingly routine situations can escalate into devastating professional disasters that force physicians out of practice entirely. I cover critical topics including the National Practitioner Data Bank, sham peer review processes, restrictive employment contracts, and FPPE/OPPE evaluations. I share stories of physicians who lost hospital privileges overnight, were blocked from practicing due to non-compete clauses, and faced career-ending allegations with inadequate due process protection. I emphasize the importance of understanding medical staff bylaws, hiring experienced healthcare attorneys for contract review, and taking any workplace allegations seriously from day one. I provide practical advice on protecting yourself during peer review processes and recognizing when standard procedures are being weaponized against you.

Nick Marshal seemed like a regular kid from New Jersey — good family, middle-class upbringing, and a bright future. But peer pressure and street life led him into drug dealing while still in high school. By 20, Nick was deep in the game: selling, using, and even robbing his suppliers. He tried to walk away, but one final robbery got him caught — and landed him in prison. In this interview, Nick opens up about his rise and fall in the drug world, the day he got arrested, what prison was really like, and how he rebuilt his life in New York's nightlife scene after serving 3 years behind bars. #DrugGameSurvivor #PrisonToRedemption #TrueCrimeStories #NYCNightlife #ExDealerStory #FromStreetsToSuccess #LockedInPodcast #SecondChanceJourney Connect with Nick Marshall: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thenickmarshall/ Buy his book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Try-Again/Nick-Marshall/9781632280985 Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Get 50% off the Magic Mind offer here: https://www.magicmind.com/IANB50. #magicmind #mentalwealth #mentalperformance Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 The Setup: Chaos, Crime, and Fear 00:52 Meet Nick Marshall: Double Life Begins 02:15 Try Again: Writing and Redemption 04:53 Coming Clean: Telling His Story 05:36 Second Chances & Hard Work 06:55 Sponsor Break: Magic Mind 07:50 Early Years: Growing Up in New Jersey 09:02 Anger, Fights, and Bullying 11:39 First Job, First Crime 13:33 Drug Dealing Origins 15:55 Transferring Schools & More Trouble 20:10 The Teen Drug Game Ramps Up 22:43 Family Troubles & Selling Escalates 26:02 High Life, High Risk: Nightclubs & Escalation 30:16 Robbery Plans and Downfall 33:02 A Life Unraveling 36:40 Violent Turns and Final Heist 40:19 The Aftermath: Panic and Guilt 43:15 The Arrest: Facing Justice 50:19 Jail: First Experiences & Reality Sets In 01:05:00 Legal Battle: Attorneys and Pleas 01:16:08 A Shot at Redemption 01:21:22 Prison Time 01:38:09 Prison Lessons and Survival 01:50:19 Life After Prison: Rebuilding 01:56:03 What I Learned: Reflections and Advice 02:00:30 Closing Lessons & Farewell Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

Many fresh grads are anxious about finding a job, but should they be? Manpower Minister Tan See Leng is urging graduates and parents to “stay calm,” pointing to new figures that show the employment rate for the 2025 university graduating cohort was 51.9% in June, 4 percentage points higher than in June 2024. That suggests the graduate job market may be on sturdier ground than expected, even amid global uncertainty. So how worried should graduates really be and what can they do to boost their chances? Loh Pui Wah, Independent Business Consultant & Career Coach and Ng Kian Boon, Host of the Red Dot Perspective (YouTube), join the Breakfast Show to unpack the outlook, highlight where opportunities are emerging, and explore how fresh graduates can navigate the current hiring scene.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The cybersecurity workforce shortage isn't a new problem—but according to Jamie Norton, Board Director at ISACA, it's one that's getting worse. In this on-location conversation during RSAC Conference 2025, Norton shares how ISACA is not only acknowledging this persistent gap but actively building pathways to close it, especially for early-career professionals.While many know ISACA for its certifications and events, Norton emphasizes that the organization's mission goes much deeper—supporting digital trust through education, community, and career development. One key area of focus: helping individuals navigate every phase of their professional journey, from new graduates to seasoned leaders. That includes new offerings like the Certified Cyber Operations Analyst (CCOA) credential, designed specifically to meet the growing demand for technical, hands-on skills in security operations roles.What's driving this shift? Norton points to employer demand for candidates who can walk into SOC and technical analyst roles with practical experience. The CCOA was created based on feedback from ISACA's 185,000+ global members and a wide network of hiring organizations, all highlighting the same pain point: early-stage roles are difficult to fill, not because people aren't interested, but because too many can't prove their skills in ways hiring managers understand.ISACA's response is both strategic and community-driven. Certification development is rooted in large-scale data analysis and enhanced by input from members around the world, ensuring each program reflects real-world needs. At the same time, ISACA recognizes that certifications alone don't create confidence. Community and mentorship matter—especially for those struggling with imposter syndrome or breaking into the field from non-traditional backgrounds.Looking ahead, ISACA is investing in career journey tools, AI-focused certifications, and guidance for post-quantum readiness—all while continuing to support members through local chapters and global programs.For those hiring, job-seeking, or guiding others into the field, this episode offers a grounded, forward-looking view into how one organization is equipping the cybersecurity workforce for the work that matters now—and what's coming next.Learn more about ISACA: https://itspm.ag/isaca-96808Note: This story contains promotional content. Learn more.Guest: Jamie Norton, Director Board of Directors, ISACA | https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamienorton/ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from ISACA: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/isacaLearn more and catch more stories from RSA Conference 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsac25______________________Keywords:jamie norton, sean martin, marco ciappelli, cybersecurity, certifications, workforce, skills, governance, community, careers, brand story, brand marketing, marketing podcast, brand story podcast______________________Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage? Learn More

Welcome back, friends!   In this episode, I'm joined by Kelsey Fuller and Hannah Dvorak, two PTs that I met as students and walked alongside as they searched for their first job and ultimately walked away from those jobs. They share about their journey, from being diligent in their initial job search to being patient in the middle of their first job when things got hard to finally finding the courage to quit.   Knowing when to walk away is incredibly hard, but I know you'll be encouraged by both of their stories.     Enjoy!   Clinical Athlete FB Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18P7Rokmmt/

In Episode 350 of the Research Like a Pro Genealogy podcast, Diana and Nicole discuss Florence Matilda (Creer) Kelsey's first job. Diana begins by asking Nicole what she has been working on or reading. Diana recaps RootsTech, mentioning classes on AI, locality research, and transcriptions, as well as meeting listeners. Diana then introduces the subject of the episode by asking listeners if they remember their first job outside the home. She notes that ancestors also likely worked and faced challenges like answering to a boss and learning new skills. Diana shares that she is writing about her maternal grandmother, Florence, for her 52 Ancestor post, focusing on Florence's experience teaching school as a teenager.  Diana recounts that Florence was born in 1892 in Spanish Fork, Utah, and was the oldest of twelve children. When Florence was about fifteen, her mother had an accident, and Florence and her sister began working outside the home. Nicole reads from Florence's history where she describes teaching at Castilla, a small town in the mountains. The episode discusses the history of Castilla as a recreational area with hot springs and excursion trains. They examine the students Florence likely taught, identifying them as the children of the Southworth family, with whom Florence lived. Diana and Nicole conclude by sharing that Florence, despite finding the job unpleasant, was proud to help her family and purchase items for herself and her parents' home.
