Great Occupations

Our original plan was to do a talk show for one year. After almost 2 years, 50 shows, 40 guests, and 24,000 downloads of our show, we’ve come to an end of a fun and exciting era. We wrapped our final show on Saturday. It started as an idea which sounded like a lot of fun. A the free internet show platform - Blog Talk Radio - made it possible.

We started the show with our original partner, The Resume Slayer - Mr. Michael Kranes. In the beginning it was just the three of us, and it morphed into something so much bigger and better than we could have imagined. We had amazing guests, great topics, and timely advice. We learned along the way, and we had our share of technical hiccups.

It has been an amazing journey, but it takes a lot of time to find the guests and write the scripts. Work commitments for Angela and myself just make it tough to continue. Our shows will still be available online, and we encourage you to listen to those topics which interest you. We’ve had some amazing shows on job search, technology like LinkedIn, and other extrodianary topics like our last show on entrepreneurship with Mike O’Krent of LifeStoriesAlive.com.

Mike started his business to interview and preserve the memories of loved ones. Look at his site to see some heart touching demos. Starting his business, Mike tackled the biggest challenges of every new business owner. He followed the advice of Stephen Covey: ”Begin with the end in mind.” Mike’s biggest advice from his experience to begin

1. Write down the end game.
2. Know you can’t do it all.

Finding the right career or business to start is the best thing you will ever do for yourself. Listen to Mike’s story, and see what resonates with you:

We completed 22 episodes of The Job Search Boot Camp Show this year. That makes a total of 42 episodes of our show with almost 17,000 downloads! This year we've discussed some great topics with tips and advice from experts on resumes, franchising, branding, motivation, technology and much more. We had some outstanding interviews with guests like Kathy Lansford-Powell who has been running the largest job club in central Texas for over 20 years, and another interview on business ownership with someone who was laid off from his career after 17 years of service and was in the beginning stages of business ownership.
