First Job Stories: Corn Detasseling, Ponderosa, Murder by 102.9 The Hog

First Job Stories 4: Golf Cart Girl , Chicken Livers by 102.9 The Hog

In this episode of Voices of Otolaryngology, Soham Roy, MD, MBA, draws on his experience as a mentor to guide early-career surgeons through one of medicine's most pivotal transitions: moving from training into independent practice. Dr. Roy shares the framework he uses when advising residents, fellows, and early-career physicians: define success on your own terms, understand what truly brings fulfillment, and avoid the pressure to find a "perfect" first job. He also offers pragmatic guidance on evaluating today's evolving practice landscape and stresses the importance of building an expert advisory team to protect your future. Ultimately, Dr. Roy reminds young physicians that their legacy won't be defined by any single surgery, but by the lasting, positive impact they leave on their patients, colleagues, and loved ones.

Tom Elliott is joined by Culture Content director at the Australian newspaper, Bianca Farmakis, to discuss the impact that your first job had on your work ethic. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fresh graduates may be taking a little longer to land that first full-time job, but according to Manpower Minister Tan See Leng, that doesn’t necessarily mean the job market is weakening. In Parliament, he pointed out that while recent figures show softer fresh graduate employment outcomes, those numbers are coming off an unusually strong post-Covid hiring surge, when companies were aggressively rehiring to catch up on demand. So is this just a temporary adjustment, or a structural shift in how young people enter the workforce? On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Professor Lawrence Loh, Department of Strategy and Policy, National University of Singapore, to find out more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A first job is about so much more than earning money.It's often where teens begin learning responsibility, confidence, communication, and independence.From showing up on time to learning how to talk to adults and handle challenges, work helps teens build the kind of competence that shapes long-term confidence. But many parents struggle to know how much help is too much. Should you step in and fill out applications, or should your teen handle it all on their own?The goal isn't to take over—it's to coach. Helping teens practice interview skills, build responsibility at home, and think beyond just the paycheck can make all the difference. When teens take ownership of the process, they gain more than a job—they gain confidence in themselves...In this episode, we mentioned the following resources:- Boys & Girls Clubs: How to Be First Job Ready- Youth Job Center: Interviewing Skills- NIH: Teenage Employment and Career Readiness- Evolve: Teenage Jobs: The Pros and Cons- NIH: The Benefits and Risks of Adolescent Employment- Your Teen Magazine: How to Get Your First Job: Tips for Teens- Crew: The Ultimate Job Guide for Young Teens- Teen Life Podcast: Summer Jobs ..Visit our website: www.teenlifepodcast.comSubscribe to get the episodes in your inbox: www.teenlife.ngo/subscribeWatch the podcast on ⁠YouTube⁠!Follow Us: Instagram | Facebook | Twitter..Podcast Music by: Luke Cabrera & Tobin HodgesHosted by: Karlie Duke, Caleb Hatchett & Tobin HodgesProduced by: Karlie Duke & Kelly Fann

Talking about money in families is hard. Talking about legacy is even harder. In this conversation with host Syama Bunten, Amy Castoro gets into why so many wealth transfers go sideways. Not because of bad legal structures or poor planning, but because families never learn to talk to each other. About what they actually need. About what they're afraid of. About what the money means to them and what they want it to mean for the next generation. When those conversations don't happen, conflict fills the gap and the wealth that was supposed to bring a family together ends up pulling it apart. Amy talks about the pressure that lands on the next generation, the damage that lingers after family conflict over money, and why women are increasingly at the center of these conversations as decision-makers, caregivers, and keepers of family culture. But before all of that, she shares where her perspective actually comes from. She grew up watching her mother stretch every dollar, lead with generosity, and hold things together through sheer resourcefulness. That upbringing gave her a particular lens on what wealth actually means and what it costs families who treat it as a financial problem instead of a human one. It's that backstory that explains how she became CEO of The Williams Group and why she approaches this work the way she does. This episode is part of a larger conversation Syama is building at Wealth Catalyst, salons and summits where women talk candidly about money, legacy, and what it actually takes to get it right.

In this episode of the Shift AI Podcast, Gordon Evans, CMO of Commerce Cloud at Salesforce, joins host Boaz Ashkenazy live from Dreamforce in San Francisco for a conversation on how AI agents are reshaping commerce across both B2C and B2B.Gordon breaks down the full scope of Salesforce's commerce portfolio—from the well-known B2C platform powering brands like Pandora and L'Oréal, to B2B commerce, order management, and the recently acquired PredictSpring point-of-sale capability. Together, these pieces deliver what Salesforce calls unified commerce: the same product, inventory, and customer view whether you're engaging online or in-store.The conversation dives into how AgentForce Commerce is bringing AI-powered personalization to retail. Gordon shares how Pandora's Gemma agent has driven a 10% increase in NPS by handling customer service with the nuance of a knowledgeable store associate, and how Williams Sonoma's Olive agent helps shoppers plan everything from Thanksgiving dinner to table decor. The discussion explores why great data is the foundation for effective agents, how B2B buyers deserve the same seamless experience as consumers, and why natural language interfaces are collapsing the technical barrier between businesses and their customers.Boaz and Gordon also examine the evolving trust dynamic around AI in commerce—how the pandemic accelerated consumer willingness to trade data for speed and convenience, and how that same value exchange is now driving adoption of AI agents. Gordon shares how his own team uses internal LLMs and Slack bots to move faster, and why learning to ask the right questions is becoming the most important professional skill.This episode is essential listening for commerce leaders, retail strategists, and product teams who want to understand how AI agents are moving beyond customer service into full shopping experiences—and why conversation and context are the two words that define what comes next.Chapters[00:00] What It Means to Be CMO of Commerce at Salesforce[02:15] AgentForce Commerce and the Unified Commerce Vision[03:37] PredictSpring, Point of Sale, and Bringing It All Together[04:20] Personalization Powered by Data and AI Agents[05:58] Why B2B Buyers Deserve the Same Experience as Consumers[07:30] First Job, Worst Job with Gordon Evans[09:30] How AI Tools Are Changing the Daily Work of Marketing[11:20] Pandora, Williams Sonoma, and the Rise of Brand Agents[13:50] Trust, Credit Cards, and the Speed-Convenience Value Exchange[15:00] Two Words for the Future of Work: Conversational and ContextConnectConnect with Gordon EvansLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gordonmevans/Connect with Boaz AshkenazyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boazashkenazy/Email: info@shiftai.fm

The pan isn't quite hot enough. The batter spreads oddly. You flip it too soon or too late.And yet… we never panic about the first pancake. We expect it.So why do we expect perfection when we're trying something new in our careers?In this episode of Teachers in Transition, Vanessa explores how the “first pancake principle” applies to career transitions, job searching, and the messy but necessary process of experimentation. If your first few applications haven't landed yet, that doesn't mean you've failed—it may simply mean you're still cooking the first pancake.Vanessa also shares the moment she realized the math of staying in teaching no longer worked, why taking action is the antidote to anxiety, and why businesses are overlooking a powerful and often underleveraged source of talent: experienced educators.If you're feeling stuck, discouraged, or unsure where to start, this episode will help you reframe the process and keep moving forward.In This EpisodeWhy the first pancake is supposed to be messyHow perfectionism sabotages career transitionsWhy action is the antidote to anxietyThe “pancake experiment” approach to job searchingThe moment Vanessa realized it was time to leave teachingWhy companies are overlooking underleveraged educator talentHow teachers can begin translating their experience into new industriesKey TakeawayCareer transitions aren't a single perfect attempt—they're a batch of experiments.Your first resume, your first application, your first informational interview… those are just the first pancakes.Don't judge the whole stack by the first one. Ready to Explore Your Next Step?If you're a teacher feeling burned out or wondering what comes next, Vanessa offers free Discovery Sessions to help you get your bearings and start mapping a path forward.You can reach out in several ways:

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Domestic Dad: Cleaning Up The Mess, host Nick Barnett sits down with Keith Jeffries to unpack a story marked by addiction, heartbreak, spiritual awakening, and the life-changing power of surrendering to God.   Keith shares openly about growing up in a loving home that lacked a spiritual foundation, and how his desire for acceptance and belonging led him down a destructive path at an early age. What began with drinking as a teenager quickly escalated into marijuana, prescription pills, heroin, and eventually years of meth addiction. Through his brutally honest reflection, Keith reveals how addiction slowly eroded his relationships, fueled selfish choices, and left him feeling empty despite outward success.   Nick and Keith explore the deep wounds that often live beneath addiction—including father wounds, unresolved anger, and the quiet shame that lingers long after the chaos of substance abuse fades. Keith reflects on the painful realization that the scars addicts leave on others can be some of the hardest burdens to carry in sobriety.   The turning point in Keith's story came during one of the darkest moments of his life. After years of addiction and the loss of his father, Keith found himself sitting alone with a gun in his hand, ready to end everything. Instead, in a moment he still struggles to fully explain, he fired the gun into the floor—an act that became a permanent reminder of the life he almost lost.   Soon after, Keith attended a men's event called The Launching Pad in Dallas, Texas, where he experienced a powerful encounter with God that would change everything. In that moment of surrender, the addictions that once controlled him were broken, and Keith began a new journey of faith, obedience, and purpose.   But the journey wasn't without heartbreak. After five years of infertility, Keith and his wife Kayla experienced the joy of discovering they were pregnant with twins—only to lose both babies to miscarriage weeks later. In one of the most painful seasons of their lives, they made the difficult decision to remain faithful and obedient to God, trusting that He still had a plan for their family.   Today, Keith lives a completely transformed life—devoted to his faith, his marriage, and helping other men find freedom from addiction and hopelessness. His story is a powerful reminder that no matter how far someone believes they have fallen, redemption is always possible.   Through honest conversation, Nick and Keith discuss the role of obedience, the importance of brotherhood and accountability, and the incredible ways God reveals Himself when people choose faith over fear.   This episode is a raw and inspiring testimony that no one is too far gone for grace—and that sometimes the greatest miracles come after the darkest moments.    

In this episode, Scott and Jeff kick off a deep dive into Vision & Strategic Thinking, the first and most foundational domain of Executive Performance inside the TriMetric framework. They explore: What vision actually is (and what it's not) How vision and mission relate—and why people constantly confuse them Why founders get stuck when these aren't aligned How strategic planning works in families, marriages, nonprofits, and businesses alike This is a conceptual and philosophical episode—setting the foundation before moving into red flags and practical assessments in Part 2.

Students and experts on navigating today's job market

In this episode, we turn the mic over to you, the listeners—and it turns out your teenage trauma and retail scars are universal.Segment One: Your First Job StoriesWe asked you to share stories from your very first jobs, and wow… you delivered. From the north, south, east, west—and yes, even Canada, the stories came flooding in. Fast food disasters, awkward uniforms, terrible managers, and that first magical (and tiny) paycheck.No matter where you grew up or whether it was the 70s or the 80s, it turns out joining the workforce for the first time followed the same script: confusion, humiliation, accidental insubordination, and memories that are still hilarious decades later. Proof that nothing bonds us quite like minimum wage misery.Segment Two: Mall MemoriesMalls may be a dying breed now, but once upon a time they ruled our social lives. With special guest Matt Friedlander, we dive deep into what made these climate-controlled wonderlands so special.From record stores and arcades to food courts, hanging out all day without buying anything, and the pure freedom of being dropped off with friends—this segment is a love letter to the mall era. We debate what we miss most, what will never come back, and why the mall was so much more than just a place to shop.

Step into Episode 196 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Arizona PR powerhouse Melissa DiGianfilippo, founder of Proof Publicity, for an honest conversation about building credibility, navigating crisis communication, and what it really takes to grow a business on your own terms. From firing clients who waste time to leveraging AI for faster content creation without losing the human touch, Melissa pulls back the curtain on how PR actually works—and why relationships still matter more than most entrepreneurs realize. If you're running a business, launching a concept, or trying to get real attention in a noisy market, this episode is packed with practical insights you can use right now.Hear how Melissa went from a 25-year-old agency owner in 2008 to running a lean, intentional PR firm that only works with clients she believes in—and how she's learned to be ruthless with feedback, flexible with change, and crystal clear on what moves the needle. She breaks down why PR isn't just press releases, how newsjacking gets more coverage than any planned pitch, and what it takes to onboard a new client (spoiler: it starts with 90 minutes of deep questions). The conversation also dives into how Arizona's hospitality scene is exploding right now, from downtown Phoenix popping off to brand collaborations becoming the fastest way to expand your audience, and why authentic storytelling beats viral gimmicks every time.Melissa also gets candid about balancing motherhood with two daughters (10 and 13) while building a business that feels like a third child, why she pays for help so she can stay focused, and how she's unlearning some pandemic-era fears around being direct with her team. You'll hear about crisis situations she's handled—from student housing disasters to media showing up at a property's door with cameras—and why staying calm, responsive, and human is the only way through. From her morning news podcast ritual to hiring blunt Gen Z employees who don't want fluff, Melissa's approach is equal parts strategic and refreshingly real.Chapter Guide Timestamps:0:00 – 2:48 – Intro, Birthday Coincidence, and Built Different Community Overview2:49 – 5:09 – Americano Event Recap and the Power of Networking with Purpose5:10 – 8:06 – Origin Story: Wisconsin to Kent State, PR Degree, and the Professor Who Changed Everything8:07 – 12:40 – First Job at Martz Agency, Learning Ruthlessness, and Starting a Business at 2512:41 – 14:20 – Why She Started Proof Publicity and What the Name Really Means14:21 – 16:53 – Why Women Excel in PR, Listening Over Ego, and Crisis Control Stories16:54 – 20:52 – Newsjacking, Media Relationships, and Why the Landscape Has Changed20:53 – 25:02 – Being a Good Boss, Patience, Directness, and Learning from Gen Z25:03 – 26:47 – Balancing Motherhood, Business, and Paying for Help Without Apology26:48 – 29:53 – Arizona Hospitality Boom, Downtown Phoenix, and Brand Collaborations29:54 – 32:19 – How AI is Changing PR, Building Client Projects in ChatGPT, and Staying Human32:20 – 36:08 – The Onboarding Process: 90 Minutes of Deep Questions and Delivering Results36:09 – 38:18 – Firing Clients Who Waste Time and Protecting Media Relationships38:19 – 40:45 – Hobbies, Travel, Pickleball, Peloton, and Being a Picky Eater40:46 – 43:10 – Rapid Fire: Pizza vs. Sushi, Wine vs. Coffee, PR Myths, and Big Wins43:11 – 47:44 – More Rapid Fire, Music Preferences, and Episode Wrap-UpIf this conversation about PR, building intentional businesses, and navigating Arizona's hospitality boom resonated with you, hit Subscribe for more deep dives on business, relationships, and growth. Drop a comment with your biggest takeaway, and share this episode with someone who's trying to get real attention in a crowded market.

Chris Hine takes us through the Wolves' big win in Chicago. Some big names grace Tuesday's Word on the Street segment. Then, Steve Thomson and producer Jonathan Lowe discuss their first real jobs as teenagers.

When Cal visits an old mentor, he's struck by two realizations. First: Some of the most profound moments in a young person's life can happen in entry-level jobs, when the right person takes you in, opens a door, and points you on the right path. Second: As artificial intelligence wipes out many of those first jobs, it will also erase those connections and moments. What disappears isn't just work. It's mentorship. It's the quiet bonds that shape confidence, character, and destiny. What will happen to a generation shaped without them? And an even bigger question: How might we be able to preserve them?

Comedian Atsuko Okatsuka’s last meal, and the reason why she sometimes carries cooked scallops in her bag, trace back to her unstable, unpredictable childhood. She talks about being kidnapped by her grandmother and why a gluten-free spaghetti dinner brings her comfort, even as someone who doesn’t have a gluten sensitivity. Atsuko’s first foray into entertainment was working at an ice cream chain that made employees sing and dance for tips. Atsuko loved it, but host Rachel Belle interviews two other folks who had no idea they had to perform at their restaurant jobs, until they saw it happening on their first day. One at Chicago’s famous Wiener’s Circle and another at a now-defunct steak house chain. Atsuko is on tour now! You can also watch her standup specials on HBO and Hulu.
