Consuming Careers

On Consuming Careers, we explore the careers of people from many walks of life, all of whom have taken rather unique paths, and we're digging into where they find purpose, what fuels their passion, and how they've persevered in the face of profound opposition. And to keep things real, each interview is recorded live over food or drink in a restaurant, pub, café, around a firepit, or even on a boat in the middle of a lake. Work and food: you just can’t have one without the other!

Our hope is that you’ll find this podcast inspiring, entertaining, and that you’ll find some valuable principles that you can apply in your career. From missionaries to moguls, and carnitas to Cabernet - we hope you'll join our next episode of Consuming Careers!

In this weeks’ episode we’re speaking with Chad Parsons who shares his experience of growing up in a rather dysfunctional home, and how he learned that the path to a more fulfilling career comes far less from external affirmation than from living an authentic life.
