Welcome to Propelling Careers Podcast episode 100. We cannot believe we have made it this far… One source I found indicated that 6.25% of all podcasts make it to 100 episodes. Another source I found said about 5% - regardless, a small amount of the entire network of podcasts make it to 100. We are really proud that we have been able to develop meaningful content to help our listeners navigate their career journey over the last 25 months. When we started, we were not really sure where this would go - we just wanted to put good, truthful, honest content out there to help people. Since Feb 1, 2024, people have been listening and giving us positive reinforcement. This has helped motivate us to continue and we really appreciate this.
During this episode, we also will reach another milestone - we will have our first guest! Our first guest is Joey, my nephew, who painted the picture that is our podcast logo.
Lauren Celano, CEO of Propel Careers and Jim Gould, the Director for Postdoctoral Affairs at Harvard Medical School, launched this podcast as a way for us to share our advice, insights, and reflections to help others navigate their careers.
As we develop new episodes, this podcast will provide insights regarding career advice to help listeners navigate career choices and become more confident in their decisions. We look forward to busting myths and providing real life, timely, and accurate advice. Jim and Lauren work heavily with Ph.D. trained scientists, but the advice we provide can be applicable to other audiences. We hope you enjoy listening!
