This is UrhotwithScott Kellner host of the Digital Mentorship podcast. Digital Mentorship is a podcast designed to educate college juniors, seniors, and current professionals about career possibilities. If you can think about what you wanted to do when you were declaring a major or getting ready to graduate, is that anything close to what you ended up doing? Do you think somebody else getting ready to graduate has any idea that a job or career or your business even exists? This podcast aims to help narrow the gap between what individuals think their career must be and what it could be.

My guest this week is Mason Poage! Mason is the Program Director for True Lacrosse for the state of Florida. True Lacrosse is a training and development program for boys and girls spanning a wide range of ages. We learn about what Mason does as Program Director and what his journey was like getting there. Mason and I talk about learning what you want to do and finding the platform to do it. We also talk about embracing change, managing stress, and defining what success means to you. If you or anyone you know is interested in pursuing a career coaching, don't hesitate to reach out to Mason or me.

On this episode of Digital Mentorship, my guest is Dylan Brauer. Dylan is currently a junior at Westminster College studying finance and data science. He got to fulfill his childhood dream of playing lacrosse in college and has become an avid skier! This show takes a slightly different angle in that Dylan is who this show is supposed to help. Business majors who are trying to understand what the world is going to be like after graduation. We talk about what he's afraid of and what it means to have a fulfilling career. The usual games are back with two truths and a lie and overrated or underrated. Dylan's advice for his former self is to remain intellectually curious. I hope you enjoy this episode, and if you have any questions for Dylan or me, please don't hesitate to reach out!

This week on Digital Mentorship, my guest is Weston Lackey. Weston hails from the state of Michigan and found himself studying finance in the Rocky Mountains at Westminster College. Weston shares his experience getting kidnapped in Vietnam and how he chose to study finance over psychology. We learn about the University Valuation Group, the benefits of small class sizes, and building relationships with professors.

Weston is a financial analyst for Daybreak Communities. He was able to leverage an internship with Alliance Residential Company and his passion for finance into a career. An interesting point about his journey is how he started working at Daybreak Communities while still in school. Weston also got a six-month head start working remotely when he wanted to move home to Michigan.

Weston's tips for working from home

Have a separate working space
Try to maintain a routine
Make sure you move around a lot
Try getting a balance board

We play a game called overrated and underrated and we learn about Weston's favorite kind of pizza.

Weston's advice for his former self revolves around continuing to do the right thing, build momentum and focus on creating meaningful relationships with your peers.

In this episode of Digital Mentorship, my guest is Jaxson Perry. Jaxson is a customer success manager at Dental Intelligence Inc. and is one of the most passionate people I know. This is one of my longest episodes and for a good reason! Jaxson started his career at Brody Chemical as an account manager, where he developed a passion for the customer experience and the process behind it. In his time as an account representative at Pharma Logistics, he continued focusing on process improvement in a heavily regulated and complicated industry. Now, as an Enterprise CSM, Jaxson has doubled down on his passion for customer experience while developing processes to sustain further growth. Both of us study and practice mindfulness, and we talk about Jaxsons two favorite books, "Tao Te Ching" and "The Power of Now." Both books have made impacts in his life and have helped Jaxson form a potent identity. We discuss resume tips and tricks and how you can improve your resume. Finally, Jaxsons tips for young adults or working professionals, focus on your "why" in his darkest times; it was his guiding light.
