From A Different Angle
What was your first job?
My first “real” job was at a truck-stop burger bar called Bill & Beas in my hometown Centralia, Washington. They’ve been serving delicious burgers for over 50 years and are a local favorite in Lewis County. My starting wage was $3.50/hour plus tips, and to this day, I frequently stop in for a bite when I visit my parents or pass through town heading south on I-5.
What is your superpower?
I’m a magnet that moves throughout the world with an energetic and creative force. I secretly have a goal of becoming the Kevin Bacon of Seattle. I’ve frequently been told I have a magnetic personality and the superpower of connecting people in meaningful ways.
Favorite podcast and why?
F*cking Sober the First 90 Days is an unflinching first-person narrative of Anita Drake’s first 90 days of getting sober in NYC. This Webby Award-winning 8-episode serialized show features talent and music by artists in recovery. It is unlike any other recovery podcast currently on the market.
I’m also a fan of almost any True Crime podcast and Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert.
Best advice you've ever gotten.
My friend Rita B. used to frequently remind me that “Enough is a Feast.” It served as a good reminder I may not always get everything I want, but I do have everything I need. Rita, along with my parents who led by example, taught me the importance of putting others first. In my experience thus far in life, being of service to others is the secret sauce to living a fulfilled life.
