    Episode 124: Insights on the Job Search and Surviving Unemployment

    Born and raised in Minnesota, Ed Kashmarek received a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from the University of Minnesota and an MBA in Finance from the Carlson School of Management. He was an economist with Wells Fargo for 10 years, working under the direction of Dr. Sung Won Sohn, Dr. Michael Swanson, Dr. Scott Anderson and Dr. Eugenio Aleman. Ed says his job was like getting paid to go to school! Ed’s commentary has appeared in ABC News, The Denver Business Journal, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Oregonian and The Star Tribune. He was also recently a guest on AM 1280 radio to talk about economics and politics. While looking for a job during the pandemic, Ed launched his own podcast to discuss the economy and the pandemic. He even took a couple online courses to learn more about epidemiology to better discuss the COVID-19 virus. Ed is now considering launching his own unemployment consulting business to share what he has learned during his job search and to help other people get through unemployment. When he’s not reading, writing or speaking about economics, Ed enjoys writing and playing music, listening to jazz and classical music, biking around the lakes, watching sports, watching movies, reading books, blogging and getting together with family and friends. Ed is just as passionate about music as he is about economics. He has recorded two jazz CD’s, had several of his songs played on the radio, appeared with two separate bands on the KARE 11 Morning Show and played sax with Minnesota blues legend Big Walter Smith for two years. He once gave an economic presentation in the very same building where he had previously played a gig with Big Walter!   Guest: Ed Kashmarek LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/edkashmarek/ Twitter: https://x.com/EdKashmarek Hosts: Lena Scullard | Professional Speaker, Facilitator, Program Designer, and Consultant | https://www.linkedin.com/in/lenascullard/ Jay Olson | Director of Global Talent Acquisition at Medtronic | https://www.linkedin.com/in/jayolson/   INTERESTED IN SPONSORSHIP?

    Episode 120: A Case for Mental Health First Aid

    Nicole is the Director of Human Resources at Bauer Design Build, where she leads people strategy with a focus on building people-first workplaces that align culture with business growth. Her work sits at the intersection of culture, operational reality, and mental health, creating environments where people feel seen, supported, and safe to speak up. With experience in highly structured industries and a pivot into construction, she brings a practical, real-world perspective on what actually builds trust in tough, traditional environments, and why presence matters more than programs. Nicole is also a certified Mental Health First Aid Instructor and passionate mental health advocate who has trained over 40% of her organization in recognizing, responding to, and supporting coworkers in distress. She believes mental health belongs not just in benefits conversations, but as a leadership and operational priority that directly impacts culture, retention, and employee well-being. Beyond HR, Nicole is a proud mom of two (who may or may not cringe at her cheering from the sidelines), the wife of a first responder, a lover of books, sparkles, pastries, and coffee.   Guest: Nicole Van Heel | Director of Human Resources for Bauer Design Build Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicole-van-heel/   Contact info: Email: nicoleboerbon@gmail.com   Host: Becky Lauseng - https://www.linkedin.com/in/becky-lauseng/   INTERESTED IN SPONSORSHIP?
