When I Grow Up is a podcast featuring real people sharing their real career journeys — from growing up and schooling, to first jobs, career pivots, pay, work-life balance, and what the job is actually like day-to-day. When I Grow Up features honest conversations with people from all kinds of fields — trades, aviation, healthcare, business, tech, education, public service, and more.
Each episode explores:
How someone found their career path
The education or training involved
What the job looks like day to day
Pay, hours, lifestyle, and tradeoffs
Who the career is (and isn’t) a good fit for
I’m always looking to talk with people who are open to an honest, conversational discussion about their career path.
If you have 3+ years in your field and are comfortable sharing the real pros and cons of your work, I’d love to hear from you.
Not everyone wants to be on a podcast — but you might know someone who would be a great fit.
If there’s a person whose career path people are curious about, you can recommend them here.
If you enjoy the podcast and want to help cover production costs, you can support the show here.
Support is always optional — listening is more than enough.
