There is so much we don’t know about the genesis of someone’s work identity. That’s the case even with the people that we see - physically or virtually - on a daily basis. We can assume that our co-workers took a certain path to their profession - they had an interest, they went to school to pursue that interest, and they inevitably landed where they are now. But there is such nuance that we miss when we assume. We miss the stories of how building tree forts was a bridge to building systems, how an under the table teaching gig formed the critical knowledge foundation for network engineering that would be vital for a life-long career, and how a fear of math almost led to a completely different career path. In this episode, we follow the unfiltered career path of my friend and co-worker Douglas Thide - nuances and all.

Have you ever wondered if we humans existed alone on this earth? Have you ever wondered if that wave of cold you felt in the middle of a summer night was pure coincidence, or if that strange noise at night really was as random as it seemed?If so, you’re not alone.

In today’s episode, I speak to one such human, Barry Pirro, host of the podcast “Haunted Happenings", and an experienced paranormal investigator himself.

Rose Buado and Jennifer Redondo-Marquez were born and raised in the United States (U.S.). Their parents left the Philippines to start a better life for themselves and their families. Like many Asian families, Filipino culture focuses on stability and many pursue “proven paths” like medicine, engineering, and the military. Growing up in America, they were taught to value the freedom of speech and thought. This is in direct contrast to the Asian culture where parental expectations create conflict because career goals and definitions of success are not aligned. Rose and Jennifer are just two examples of first-generation children learning what it means to be successful in the U.S. and how to navigate through it. They aim to bridge the gap of knowledge, experience, and support that many have felt coming of age, beginning careers and living life within purpose. Rose and Jennifer embarked on the In Her Purpose project to advocate for women, to feed and fuel the future generation, and to spread love! With their first co-authored book, In Her Purpose: 40 Principles of Asian Women Redefining Success on Their Own Terms, they hope to inspire readers to discover their purpose, amplify their voice and share their true gifts with the world. You can find their book on amazon here! https://www.amazon.com/Her-Purpose-Rose-Buado/dp/1734732016/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=in+her+purpose&qid=1629118823&sr=8-1And you can find Rose and Jenn on social media through their instagram: @inherpurpose where you will also find a link to their website!
