Deliciously Diverse!

Every time a new epi of Alexa Loken’s, “What I Do” drops, I try to carve out some time to listen to it. The amount of different things I learn about various industries, sectors, and careers is staggering and I look forward to each podcast because I never know what to expect. Ms. Loken’s interviewing skills just keep getting better with each podcast and her interviewee choices are fresh and interesting. Keep up the good work and keep those podcasts coming! Thanks for your commitment to career research.
