We chatted about her experience, and you’ll find that episode under the title “Founding a Public Relations firm” on September 25, 2019. That interview was the tipping point for Melanie to develop her own podcast.

Hello listeners. I have been very fortunate to have Jordan Lott interning with onward upward this year. One of the tasks I added to her to-do list was creating a list of potential interviewees for the show.When we talked about this particular guest, I could sense some excitement. The guest works in healthcare, and that is also an interest for Jordan. So, for today’s episode, I turned over the mic.Jordan has done a wonderful job interning with me this year, and she did a wonderful job guest-hosting for the podcast. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did. Without further ado, onward.upward’s first guest-hosted episode.
