Season 2, Minisode 10: Go Try; Go Fail – an Interview with Dr. Blaire Koerner

In this final minisode, Blaire gives her parting thoughts about how to have a successful career, and focuses on educating yourself outside of school. You may have heard the common analogy that school is a bubble. The outside world works very differently than school does, and it is important to test the waters while you still have your school support system.

“Go out and try because you’ll be surprised how many things you learn, how many people you meet and how you can grow trying these things out and testing out stuff outside of school.” – Dr. Blaire Koerner

Season 2, Episode 1: Stepping Off the Path – an interview with Molly Sonsteng

Molly Sonsteng was the director of admissions at the Manhattan School of Music and had just completed a Master’s at Columbia Teacher’s College with her eye on rising through the ranks in higher ed. Then, one day, with no back-up plan, she just quit. After taking some time, brainstorming, researching, and exploring, she ended up co-founding Madcap Factory, an “amusingly eccentric production house.” A few years later, she started Caveday, facilitated work sessions that happen in a group to enhance focus.

PhD candidate Pallas Catenella interviews Molly and asks about her journey from academia into something completely different. What skills did she need to learn, and what skills were transferable from her previous career? Let’s get curious.
