×Ever since we started How I Got Here, we have been looking to learn from the various tools, analyses, and thought processes that people use as they design successful careers for themselves. But, as our guest today exemplifies, sometimes good decisions don't come from a pros and cons list or from crunching data -- they come from a strong sense of intuition and trust in oneself. Dr. Howard Murad's career -- which spans pharmacology and medicine, military service in Vietnam, and ultimately building a skincare empire at the age of 50 -- was fueled by a strong sense of conviction in his gut feelings. Listen to how Dr. Murad used his intuition to conquer numerous challenges in his career and life, and become the world renowned skincare expert and innovator that he is known as today. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/howigothere/support…

Katie has an amazing ability to navigate her career along two seemingly opposed career truths. First is that you know yourself best and you know what will truly make you happy in a job. And secondly, that you have limited knowledge based on your own experiences, so it’s important to be open minded and not overly rigid. The way Katie threads the needle here is by being firm on her values, but open on the destination. Rather than taking the approach many of take which is to pick some role and work backwards to see how we can get there, Katie leads with her values and what drives her and lets that guide her to the next career step. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/howigothere/support…

Like many of us when we were growing up, Amy Weinblum had big dreams for her future. Her dream was to work for none other than Oprah Winfrey. Once she was in college, though, Amy discovered that she had a passion for lots of different things and she lost track of what exactly she wanted to do with her career. That is, until she asked herself a fateful question. Ultimately, her answer to that question led her to achieving her childhood dream – she became Oprah Winfrey’s Chief of Staff for eight years -- and much more. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/howigothere/support…
As we move through our lives, we never know what experience around the corner could have an outsized impact on our future. For our guest Amrita Saigal that experience was a college internship working on feminine care products, like pads and tampons. From there , Amrita grew her career with a focus on developing sustainably elegant products, combining her engineering background with her passion for the environment. Not only is Amrita a two-time founder, but she is also someone who has enjoyed working in large organization like Google and Proctor and Gamble. The one thing that has remained constant throughout her varied experiences is that Amrita is deeply motivated by solving a problem at hand. Her conversations with new mothers led her to the problem she is currently working on: building a better diaper. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/howigothere/support…
Caitlin Reiche was attracted to the linear, clear cut career path. After she graduated from college, she pursued the natural next step for someone interested in psychology -- she worked in a hospital as a clinical psychologist. However, she soon felt a growing sense that this seemingly logical journey she had embarked on didn't actually make sense for her. That's when Caitlin stopped thinking about her career as a path. Instead, she asked: "how can I make this more exciting for myself?" While staying true to her north star of working in healthcare, Caitlin took some detours within that realm. Rather than optimizing for some specific long term goal, she went searching for roles that she was excited about in the moment. Ultimately, her approach paid off and she's in her dream job today as Chief Operating Officer at Buoy Health. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/howigothere/support…

How I Got Here

Andrew Gazdecki had one goal as he was preparing to graduate college: to not have a job. Instead of a “job,” Andrew wanted to be an entrepreneur and grow something that he himself built. At this stage in his career, Andrew was primarily motivated by money – he viewed entrepreneurship as a pathway to a life that he didn’t have growing up and one that he wanted to provide to his family. After almost failing out of college, Andrew ultimately succeeded. His first company was acquired and he suddenly had the power to buy whatever he wanted. In that moment, Andrew had a realization: he had no wants. In working towards his goal of making money, Andrew fell in love with the process itself. In his own words, he loves playing startup. In this conversation, hear how Andrew got to the place many dream of – selling a company and not having financial wants – and then figured out what to do next. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/howigothere/support…

1 Natalie McCullough: "I was a bike guide and geologist and then a consultant -- it was not a straight line" 31:56
A common career trope we hear constantly is to pick something, anything really, and focus entirely on it from the earliest age possible. Work 10,000 hours and you'll achieve success, or something of the like. Range, a book by David Epstein, pushes back on this advice. David argues that having a diverse set of experiences actually makes us better in the modern working world. In fact, it's important to explore and sample, because if you stick with something you don't like, you'll end up not only unhappy, but failing to achieve your full potential. Our guest today is an amazing case study of this winding and exploratory approach. Natalie McCullough, currently the President and Chief Commercial Officer at Guild Education, didn't start her career off in business. In fact, her first job out of college was as a geologist, doing environmental assessments on groundwater contamination. In this episode, Natalie shares her career journey from geologist, to bike guide, to management consultant, to finally where she is today: an executive business leader at a mission driven company, helping frontline employees get more education affordably. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/howigothere/support…

Lorraine Vargas Townsend is a survivor. She survived growing up in a town where she didn’t always feel welcome as a Latina and a lesbian. She survived cancer – twice – including during her first year in college.

As an HR professional at Dell, A Cloud Guru, where she is the Chief People Guru today, and more, Lorraine has made it her life mission to fix as many companies as she can to ensure that everyone -- no matter their race, gender, or sexual orientation – is treated with dignity and respect in the workplace. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/howigothere/support…
