Welcome to the FIRST ever episode of The CougsFirst! Podcast hosted by yours truly, Kelsey Knutson, WSU Class of ‘12.
As a WSU alumni, I can vouch that being a part of Cougar nation is an amazing experience and opened up so many doors and opportunities for both myself and my fellow cougs. (My first big girl job… WSU Seattle. When I went to beauty school? Owned by a Coug. Started my own networking group? You guessed it, co-founded with Cougs).
But one of the most impactful things that has happened on my entrepreneurial journey is getting involved in CougsFirst! And that story starts almost 10 years ago.
Now, CougsFirst! is a networking group and a community built on the premise of supporting a Coug through life and encouraging success in whatever endeavor they pursue.
We’re that group cheering you on and supporting you in any way we can!
But what you might not know about is how CougsFirst! got started, why we’re here, and what we’re up to. (Hint: a brand new podcast!!)
And the idea of having a dedicated channel to highlight Cougs who are out their building empires or working in cool businesses sounded like the perfect way to provide inspiration, support, education and entertainment to our Coug family.
Thus, The CougsFirst! Podcast was born!!
And we have some awesome things in the works.
Tune in to this episideo because it will give you a solid foundation of what CougsFirst! is about and how I ended up in the hostess seat of The CougsFirst! Podcast.
Cheers, Cougs!
