This is Kadam, the small steps podcast where we try to uncover what it means to have a traditional career.
We will have conversations with people fresh in the industry - those whose experiences are often unjustly overlooked.
To make the right long-term decisions, we believe one needs to have the proper understanding of the short term outcomes. At the end of each episode, we hope that our listeners can extract a little more meaning with a little more confidence to live life a little bit happier.

S2-E8 | Isha | Project Manager | Currently Managing Web Design Projects and Looking at a Future in Acting
How many different careers are too many careers? Do you sometimes feel like a jack of all trades? What happens next? Do you feel like you would be good at something else too if you gave it a shot? Do you feel you could do better than another person who currently has the opportunity you wish you had? Whatever industry you are in, and whatever jobs you are applying for, we all have seen rejections from one place or another. This doesn’t always mean that we do not have the capabilities to perform the job, but it sometimes just means that we are not what the company or person is looking for. This is very apparent in the movie industry too.
As our guest says, if you are not the vibe that they are looking for, then it’s going to be hard to get a call back for a certain role, no matter how good an actor you are. Our guest Isha shares her experiences from project management, acting, classical singing for 14 years and so much more. We also share some interesting discussion about her interest in Criminal psychology, reading books and looking into cases, studying body language in court proceedings and other interesting details to look for. Listen in to this week’s episode to get a wide ranging conversation and discover how Isha plans to take further steps to achieve her goals of becoming an actor!

S2-E7 | Andrew Marino | Freelance Designer | Currently Exploring the World of 3D Printing
Have you ever thought about walking onto a movie set and becoming an actor by honing on skills you learned as the youngest sibling? Do you know the feeling of having to save conversations with friends so you can keep them natural for another time? How do you create hard stop points when you work from home?
Not every Industrial Designer is a 3D Print enthusiast, but our guest today purchased a printer while we were still in school. Since then, he has invested countless hours trying to make products that people love. Not having found a role in the kind of work he wanted, he sought to create products where he not only made money, but earned high praise. His most famous product is one that the Nerf Community has provided so much positive response for. Listen in on this week’s episode as Andrew provides his insight into creating and running a podcast, finding a niche for the kind of work you want to produce, competing in a world of critics, and so much more.

S2-E6 | Katy Kirkpatrick | Designer/ Varsity Coach | Currently a Designer in Birmingham, Alabama
From being mistreated by men at work, to recently marrying her childhood crush, our guest shares the most incredible stories from her life. From being one woman in twelve designers, one of the eight females out of the almost 100 employees, and from being the youngest employee on the team, Katy shares her fascinating story of being able to find a balance to stand up for herself while still not losing her own temper. She also speaks to us about her passion to become a leader for little girls all around so they can stand up for themselves and be confident.
Our guest this week is not only an artist, but also a varsity volleyball coach. We talk about finding balance, and finding time in an otherwise hectic schedule. We also speak about making and following budgets and how that has been different since she has been married. From bringing a positive mindset back when one comes home with an extra gift to the other being stressed about how much the gift cost. From being spoken over at work, to being able to lead her young girls team to the nationals and proving the haters wrong. Listen to this week’s episode where stories like these range from self doubt because of external factors, to self confidence because of a belief in your own abilities, and much more.

S2-E5 | Jam Jones | Teacher/ Investor/ Designer | Currently a Teacher in Pyeongtaek, South Korea
Moving abroad and being in a culture that is totally different from what you’re used to is often not everyone’s cup of tea. Being in a place where people sometimes have to touch your skin or your hair to realize that you are a real, actual human can be scary for some people. Those that go through it with an open mind and a willingness to share and learn are some of the most diverse individuals. It’s honestly sad that not everyone that is willing to go through this experience gets this kind of opportunity because it can be an eye-opening and horizon-broadening time of one’s life.
Our guest this week not only went through this experience when she studied abroad in Taiwan, but also goes through it almost all the time now as an English teacher in Pyeongtaek, South Korea. But how did Jam get from wanting to be a full time designer to teaching in East Asia? She shares her experiences and takes us through a journey from searching “creative jobs that pay well” to the happy and satisfied place that she believes she is in now. We speak about drawing comparisons with those around us and while it’s not a topic we had similar views about, we give two different perspectives of that, both with very valid arguments. Listen in to decide which one you think you support, and to learn much more on this week’s episode!

S2-E4 | Lea Hix | Designer/Law Student/Teacher | Currently a Law Student at Ole Miss

Lea then shares her experiences from her jobs including creative services and marketing for a private jet company, counting grass and roots at a turf job, and now doing “everything except mopping, and sometimes even that” at a school in Oxford, MS. She is also currently pursuing Law that she was offered a full Scholarship to attend at Ole Miss. Lea takes life one step at a time, and while she has so much to say about routines, goals and life in general, she is still figuring out what the best route for her will be.
