    What do you want school to be for you? - Peter Hostrawser, Disrupt Education (E.042)

    What do you want school to be for you? - Peter Hostrawser, Disrupt Education (E.042)

    Peter Hostrawser took full advantage of getting his Valpo University education paid to earn a degree in broadcasting but realized that wasn’t what he was wired for. Even though his father told him not to do it, he aspired to the classroom.

    As an active high school business teacher, Peter has found that he isn’t a “check the box” teacher. He has taken a growth mindset to influence entrepreneurship methods to build skills and a portfolio to head into life after high school.

    He believes that learning doesn’t end in school but continues throughout your life. He is taking learning from K to Gray.

    And he has been called by his students as the Gary Vaynerchuk of education.

    Launching into Season 3, the Pathway Beyond Graduation (E.041)

    How did we get through 40 episodes?  It began as an idea took off in 2022 to talk to people from around the globe in different professions has brought new stories and connections that have impacted a lot of listeners.

    Talking to 15 different people over Season 3 also brought some essential advice about how your professional network is a trait that impacted each of these people’s lives personally and professionally. It also continues to hold through where people think they will be and doesn’t head that way in their work.

    Season 3 will continue to have guests sharing their stories about their work and the pathways they followed to get there. But we will do more solo episodes where we will dive further into answering questions that students have asked me over the last year on developing their pathway in life after high school.

    Being a Builder to Have an Impact - Lindsay Leahy, Founder of the Restoration Project (E.040)

    Lindsay Leahy believed that going to college to go to college was the path she needed to be on when she enrolled at the University of Nebraska.  As classes began, she struggled to find the actual value in how she was spending her time. After a short stay in Lincoln, she ended up in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She found a direction at Mount Mercy University that led her to opportunities to stay in Eastern Iowa. She gained experience in the financial services industry and the chamber of commerce but was still looking for more.

    As a “builder” she has found that she is in her prime when helping to create and grow something or even someone.  That led her to found her company, the Restoration Project, where she supports people looking to take their life and leadership to the next level.

    Overcoming Imposter Syndrome - Loren Kelly, Career Coach and Consultant (E.039)

    Overcoming Imposter Syndrome - Loren Kelly, Career Coach and Consultant (E.039)

    Loren Kelly was deadset on becoming a high school business teacher but realized how awesome yet challenging secondary education can be. Her husband is a Naval Aviator, so as a military spouse, she saw how her life would change based on their location domestically and abroad. Making these uncomfortable changes for two people from small midwest towns became a career advantage for both.

    She set her sights on getting into higher education and evolved into working outside of the W2 world as a Career Coach, Career Consultant, and Resume writer. This career option developed when her family moved to the United Kingdom. It opened up opportunities for online connections and remote workshops and training.

    Loren found that she was good at doing the career and training work even though she didn’t believe how good she was.  Once she reflected on that work and the success she had with engaging people in that work, she trusted herself to move her career forward.  Imposter syndrome became real because it was something she had not formally done before.  But her mentors helped her bring that vision they saw to reality.

    Don't Check the Box To Not Disappoint Others - Stephanie Short, America Succeeds (E.037)

    Stephanie Short is the Vice President of Partnerships at America Succeeds, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit policy-advocacy organization committed to improving education and preparing students to succeed in the workforce. 

    She went into college as an undecided major and took a break from school to work in the real world at various jobs. She found that she was checking the boxes for others on her career path not to disappoint others. The increased anxiety made her feel like a failure and had a chip on her shoulder because she didn't take the straight path to a career. 

    She discovered a passion for marketing and went back to school for marketing and business. Part of her work now is educating people on the importance of  “durable skills.”

    Biggest Takeaway— We need to build students’ durable skills, so they can adapt to the changing work economy and succeed.

Letty :)) ,

I SO LOVE THIS CONCEPT!

I can only imagine the impact this podcast is having on its listeners, especially if they’re young. (young being relative, of course) ;)

Being able to listen to other people’s stories is a gift that helps us all in different ways. I’m grateful for the “adventures” being shared, and am walking away feeling both challenged and inspired.

I believe there’s something here for everyone!
