The Rock 'n' Roll Porter Beth Massa

I listen to a lot of podcasts .One of the reasons I started the Rock 'n' Roll Porter podcast was that I was frustrated hearing the same men hosting the same other men on their podcasts, thanking each other for giving each other their big breaks.  These stories are far and few between for women. But the community of change-maker women are building our own culture on our own terms in our own way and in our own time. I am collecting stories of women giving other women their big breaks. In this pilot bonus episode, I share with Megan the woman who gave me my big break, and Megan share how she gave someone on her team her big break.  If you want to tell the story of your Big Breaker, find me on LinkedIn.  

...but everybody finds Megan pleasing.  Currently Megan is based in Edinburgh as program manager at AbacusBio. Most people who know her describe her as the embodiment of contradictions. She possesses a rare combination of both an entrepreneurial mindset and a project managers executional capabilities. She is direct and no-nonsense and a self-described "crier."  Megan is an expert in nutrition, and incredible cook and hostess, founder of Pinch dumplings...and also worked for a bank for 6 years.  I wanted to interview her to get her unusual take on entrepreneurship, failure, and her ability to see--and fill--gaps in society where people are longing for connection.  Megan is a "cool girl" but she has no need to impress anyone.  This is starting to sound like I am trying to write her profile for a dating app. I'm her fan. Listen to what she has to say and you'll know why.
Megan is available as a facilitator. I am begging her to put my team to work assembling dumplings while we work through a heavy strategic problem.  Find her on LinkedIn. 

Not sure what is in this one, but for sure it is New Yorker Magazine-worthy commentary.

Catching up a backlog of convos between Beth and Michael. 

Beth and Michael talking about stuff. Uploading backlog of conversations. Mystery box!

Beth abandons the dogs in the woods (not really). Michael provides Beth a primer on the proper pronunciation of guitar brands. Michael comes up with an idea that would remove cigarette butt litter overnight.
