    Beyond the White Coat - Zak Balmuth-Loris

    Not all careers in medicine happen in hospitals.And not all impact happens at the bedside. This conversation with Zak Balmuth-Loris, a PhD neuroscientist and leader in rare disease medicine, is full of powerful aha moments for anyone navigating career exploration or questioning what meaningful work really looks like. ✨ Key takeaways from this episode: • Curiosity is a compass for career discovery.The interests that light you up early often become clues toward purpose-driven careers and long-term fulfillment. • Non-linear career paths are not a failure.Finding what isn’t the right fit—especially in STEM careers or medical careers—can be the doorway to better alignment. • Imposter syndrome is part of professional growth.From first jobs to leadership development, self-doubt shows up at every level. Growth doesn’t mean you’re behind, it means you’re becoming. • You don’t need to know everything to belong.Confidence is built through learning, practice, and trusting the value you bring to your professional career path. • Mentorship shapes meaningful careers.The right mentors don’t give you answers, they help you think critically, trust yourself, and move forward with clarity. • Impactful careers aren’t always visible.Sometimes the greatest impact happens behind the scenes, translating science into hope for patients and families. This episode is for anyone searching for career clarity, navigating a career pivot, or wondering how to build a career that aligns with both skill and purpose. #ImpactfulCareers #PurposeDrivenCareer #CareerDiscovery #HealthcareCareers #CareersInMedicine #STEMCareers #CareerExploration #CareerClarity #ProfessionalGrowth #LeadershipDevelopment Connect with Kasi: IG - CareerCoachKasi Website - www.careerquestinc.com kasib@careerquestinc.com Connect with Zak: (12) Zak Balmuth-Loris, Ph.D. | LinkedIn

    Behind the Branding: The Hidden Jobs Shaping Your Favorite Films

    What if some of the most fascinating careers aren’t on screen, but are quietly shaping every movie scene? In this episode of Your Soulful Career Calling, I sit down with my dear friend of over 20 years, Sherri Hopeman, founder of The Peony Group and a leader in product placement and brand integration for feature films. With over 25 years in the industry and 80+ major motion pictures behind her, Sherri has helped global brands seamlessly come to life across films from Warner Bros., Disney, and 20th Century Studios. Together, we pull back the curtain on the creative, strategic world of product placement—what it really is, why it works, and how it shapes the stories we love without stealing the spotlight. More importantly, Sherri shares how curiosity, relationships, and trusting the long game led her to build a career—and company—on her own terms. If you love storytelling, creativity, or discovering careers you didn’t know existed, this conversation will change how you see both movies and your own path. Careers exist far beyond traditional job titles—especially in creative industries Curiosity is often the first clue, not a distraction Why great branding in film should feel invisible, not intrusive How relationships and trust quietly shape long, successful careers What product placement really is—and why it’s an art, not an ad Because sometimes the path meant for you… is hiding in the end credits.Connect with Kasi: www.careerquestinc.com IG - CareerCoachKasi Connect with Sherri: (6) Sherri Hopeman | LinkedIn

    Become Your Own Trailblazer: A Conversation with Sara Gotfredson”

    ✨On this episode of Your Soulful Career Calling, I sit down with the powerhouse behind Trailblazing Sports Group — Sara Gotfredson. If you’re raising girls, coaching athletes, love women’s sports, or simply crave a career path filled with meaning and impact… this episode is going to speak right to your heart. Sara’s journey is a masterclass in courage, alignment, and what it truly means to build a life that reflects your values. We explore her early love of team sports, her ascent through the world of ESPN partnerships, and the exact moment she trusted her intuition enough to pivot away from the security of a massive corporation. That leap — rooted in faith and alignment — eventually led her to create Trailblazing Sports Group, a company that is literally shifting the landscape of women’s sports. But it’s the human stories that will stay with you… ✨ The families who got to watch their daughters compete on the world stage because Sara helped secure life-changing partnerships.✨ The mobile mammogram unit that provided 100+ free screenings — including life-saving follow-ups — because of a women’s basketball activation.✨ The players, coaches, and young girls whose futures are expanding because someone believed their stories deserved investment and visibility. Sara also opens up about the gifts she once overlooked — her creativity, her authentic relationship-building, her ability to connect brands with meaningful opportunities — and how those gifts became her true superpowers. We talk deeply about emotional intelligence, human connection, and why these are the skills AI simply cannot replace. (And why parents should encourage them in teens more than ever.) And then… we zoom out. We look at the future of women’s sports — the momentum in basketball, the growth of the NWSL, the coming wave of soccer, volleyball, hockey, baseball, and even surfing. Sara breaks down why the next decade is going to be transformational and why brands, fans, and young athletes should be paying attention. We end with what might be my favorite part:✨Sara’s heartfelt, practical advice for young girls and young women who love sports but don’t know how to turn that passion into a career. Her message is empowering, honest, and full of actionable wisdom: ✔️ Think about what you love — and then look for the business around it.✔️ Network intentionally and boldly — people want to help, but you have to guide them.✔️ Become your own cheerleader — put yourself front and center.✔️ Don’t wait to be discovered… raise your hand, make the call, send the message.✔️ The worst anyone can say is “no,” and “no” is rarely the end of the story. By the end, you’ll feel inspired to chase the things that light you up, pursue the gifts that feel natural, and believe — truly believe — that you have a seat at the table. If you have a daughter, a niece, a student, a teammate, or a friend who loves sports… or who needs that gentle reminder that her dreams are allowed to be big, send this episode her way. This conversation will ignite something in you. It’s impossible not to feel the spark. #WomensSports#WomenInSportsBusiness#SportsManagement#TrailblazersInSports#GirlsWhoLead#PurposeDrivenCareer#FutureOfSports#CareerConfidenceForTeens Connect with Kasi: www.careerquestinc.com Email: kasib@careerquestinc.com IG - careercoachkasi Connect with Sara: www.trailblazingsports.com Email: saragotfredson@gmail.com LinkedIn: Sara Gotfredson IG - Trailblazing Sports Group

    What if everything we’ve been taught about success is only half the story?
