"Working while you wait" is a concept that we experienced in different shapes and forms as student-athletes. How have we found ways to work while we wait in our current Next Acts of our lives?This episode acts as an introduction for two significant pieces of the podcast moving forward. First, Matthew Roop officially joins The Next Act as Co-Host, and we kick off another new series: Using Your First Act in Your Next Act. There are so many valuable skills, lessons, and characteristics we gained from our First Act, but how do we find ways to implement those in our Next Acts of life?

Things we discuss from our experience:

• How we worked while we waited as student-athletes
• How we gain from our past injuries
• What working while we wait looks like now in our Next Acts
• Job hopping = Transfer portal for adults?
• What we do when it's tough to keep working while we wait
