Welcome to the Season Three Finale! In today's episode, I will do a recap and review of all of my guests and my takeaways from each conversation. This season covered new industries and new topics and was very informative. A big thank you to all of my guests for coming on the show - you were all a wonderful contribution and I learned so much from each of you! Professionals, I hope you enjoyed listening to this season as much as I enjoyed producing it, and I hope you'll tune in next season to catch more episodes of The Professionalish Podcast!
My final guest of the season is my friend Anna. Anna is a Business Professional who has a Bachelor's degree in Business and a Master's degree in Project Management. As a child, she fell in love with theater and eventually decided to create her own theater company. When she was given the project of coming up with a business idea while in undergrad, she began working toward creating Lampstand Theatre. So after we talked at length about learning and appreciating Excel and the hands-on practice of giving MANY presentations in college, we of course played a game of Myth or Fact: Theater Edition! Part 1 of 3.
My next guest is my friend Zach. Zach is a Healthcare Professional (or is it Medical?!), who joined the healthcare field early on before deciding to step away from the workforce for grad school in order to further his career. We discuss his career goals, the different roles he's had and what all he does every day, and how he knew it was time to pursue grad school! Part 1 of 3.
My next guest is my friend Rebekah. Rebekah is a technology professional who has had a decade long (and counting!) career in the technology field.

Part 1 of 3.
