When he was 25 years old, Jacob McLaughlin moved from being an athletic trainer to a surgical sales representative for one of the top medical device companies in the world. He used some traditional techniques for breaking in, but also some that were very non-traditional, including documenting his journey in his podcast, New to Medical Device Sales and his presence on YouTube, TikToK and Instagram. In this episode Jacob shares the similarities and differences between athletic training and medical device sales, advanced networking techniques, what the interview process is like from a candidate’s perspective, how to make yourself stand out, what 99% of candidates don’t do, and what the first year in medical device sales is like.

I am a special education teacher and mother of three. I have advocated for families with children who have special needs to ensure that they receive special education services that they require in for them to be appropriately facilitated at their home school district.

The website is entitled Acorntotree and it offers free academic and recreational support for children and families.

My name is Eric Mariasis and I have been working full-time as a software engineer for almost 10 years. My formal background and schooling is in Computer Science with a focus in engineering (basically it just means that I also took standard engineering courses such as Chemistry, Physics and Calculus).Career wise my day jobs have all been at large companies with at least a several thousand employees. One company I worked at for the majority of my career and around the beginning of COVID I switched to working for my current company. The software tools I focused on earlier in my career were mainly the C++ and MATLAB programming languages along with some Perl and Jenkins which is a tool to run code scripts automatically. Then I shifted to working primarily in Java with REST APIs which I do currently. I have also been something called a Scrum MasterI also am working on a Master's degree in Data Science which I'm almost 80% of the way through, and I independently tutor programming as well as math. There can sometimes be a high barrier to entry to become a programmer or software engineer and part of what I hope to do through tutoring and mentorship is to help people have an easier time breaking into the field. In addition to software engineering I could speak about the topics of earning side income through your own business and about working on a Master's degree while working full-time.

His dedication to both these areas can be seen in the work he has done with world-renowned organizations such as the Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust, the Center for Holocaust and Humanity Education, the American Jewish World Service, the Ecumenical Institute at Bossey, and the Chautauqua Institution. Additionally, Rabbi Harvey was invited by Dr. Rabbi Gary Zola to become a member of the rabbinic advisory council for the Jacob Rader Marcus Center of the American Jewish Archives, called “The B’nai Ya’akov Council.”Wherever Rabbi Harvey has served, he has always sought ways to marry his passion for social justice with the needs of his immediate community.

Additionally, he sat on the boards of the Salvation Army, Catholic Charities, The Family Resource Center, and The United Way.In West Lafayette, he brought his attention to the needs of the community, and served as the director for the Interfaith Leaders of Greater Lafayette, which was integral in bringing interfaith panel discussions to the community on topics as important as nativism, mental health, and addiction.

With the pandemics effect dressing I wrote 2 extensive online courses. The possibility is that the pandemic will not totally cancel culture. The courses show that each of us has a personal culture that contributes to humanity at large. My book/courses are "The Wardrobe Game" ``Grooming your mind and Body" and The Philosophy of Fit- how to build your own tailoring business without sewing. I have 30 year roots as a cutter and patternmaker to be able to achieve bespoke fit.  My interest is to redeem the loss of tailoring standards lost with  European tailors in WW2, as well as how society can review the sanctity of the body once appreciation of the craft of tailoring is reached. Much like wine tasting to prevent alcoholism. In fact a good suit is like an old wine, it gets better with age. Appreciation of one's taste and bodily parameters is everyman's business. Tailored garments are like slow food, it should be a good proportion of our consumption for long term benefits as well as short term pleasures. After 40 years of training as a cutter and designer, I am confident that the course with webinars can be automated to build national factories for less centralized, less globalized and a more sustainable business model. (less slave labour) Designers will be supported with back-ends sites such as Suitstyler.com and Planet-tailored.com (This is the world's first consumer app for standards of fit). Online training will be the first time since the invention of "retail sizes" for a scalable industry. Now with web efficiencies a tailoring designer is all one needs to have a coordinated wardrobe package designed. I believe there is great value and self-employment for people in the 21st C.  Having a tailoring designer should move men past the material into the richness of their tailored relationship. This is the opposite of retail sales, “cow call mentality” where only the price fits.
