I had the pleasure of being a guest on Mac’s List "Find Your Dream Job" podcast, where I spoke about The Emotional Labor of the Job Search, a topic I’m incredibly passionate about, especially for BIPOC, first-gen, and immigrant professionals.

From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, thoughtful, and truly enjoyable. Mac and his team made everything feel easy and welcoming. Susan handled all the coordination with such warmth and professionalism, making sure I had everything I needed ahead of time. Matt, their sound engineer, made the technical side smooth and stress-free, so I could focus on sharing my story. And during the actual recording, Mac creates such a calm, encouraging space, you really do feel like you’re just having a great conversation rather than recording for a wide audience.

I felt fully supported throughout the process and left feeling energized by the conversation. If you ever get the chance to work with Mac and his team, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s clear they care deeply about both their guests and the listeners they serve.
