What’s A Job? is a podcast about what people do to earn their paychecks. We interview people across industries and pay grades about their jobs, how they got there, and how others might do the same. The truth is, none of us really know quite what a job is, if we’re doing the right one, or if we’re doing ours well, but our hope is that these honest conversations can help us all feel confident in our careers and the many twists and turns they’ll take.

    What does a content creator do? with Leah Rhodes

    We are sending season two out with a bang with our very favorite human, @MusicCityMom née @LeahEliz, or better known as our dear friend, Leah Rhodes. Leah is a somewhat accidental content creator who shares with us what the job actually entails, how she landed her first brand deals, and what it means to keep it real with your followers when they're (technically?) your boss.

    Special episode! Let's talk about equity with co-founders Kate O'Neil and Tim Mulron

    Have you ever been offered a job that includes an equity package that your employer described as "huge, generous, life-changing" and wondered...what does that even mean? How does this signed agreement turn into cash in the bank on some future date? This week, we talk to Kate O'Neil and Tim Mulron, two co-founders of the leadership platform Teaming, about their experiences with equity. What is it? Why should employees care about it? And how does it translate to wealth?

    What does a food scientist do? With Ashley Ellis

    This week, take a seat and grab those snacks… and we mean it! Grab those snacks, because we are interviewing the gal behind all your favorite eats and treats. Ashley Ellis is a food scientist, who for years has been product developing and taste testing food products you’ve probably savored regularly. We learn how one gets into this niche science field, and what it takes to go from concept to grocery store shelf. We’re giving you a lot to chew on!

    What does a Clinical Social Worker do? With Mimi Weisberg

    Mimi is our first guest with a whole career under her belt, so we get an incredible look at the bets and risks she took and how they paid off, the values she used to intentionally shape her career, and some all-around great advice for the rest of us. If you've ever sat in a therapy session and found yourself wondering how on earth your therapist got so wise (or how you could become one yourself), this is the episode for you!

    What does a Broadway performer do? with Bligh Voth

    Unless you were a borderline frightening child like Faith who made business plans for fun, chances are you've dreamed of being a performer at least once in your life. This week we interview Bligh Voth, who chased that dream all the way to Broadway and beyond. We talk to Bligh about a day in the life of a performer, the path she took to live her actual dream, and the non-performing jobs in between that make it all possible.

    What does a TV producer do? with Jeff Weiner

    This week, we talk about what it takes to produce a nationally televised show five days a week without losing your absolute mind. Jeff Weiner holds it down as a TV producer for a show many of our sporty spice listeners probably know and love AND still manages to be a super chill dude, so we get to the bottom of how exactly that's possible, his journey to landing this objectively sexy job, and what we can all learn from him when it comes to making work sustainable.
