Episode 3: A Hair Stylist’s Journey
From the kindergarten classroom (their kids', not their own) to Holli sitting in Karie's chair for a fresh look, Holli and Karie have chatted about their career journeys many times. Plus, Karie has shared much of her working life through her own podcast, Hair Talk. Karie Koltz has been a hairdresser for more than 30 years. Located in Seattle for most of those years, she has clients who have come to see her every month for a couple of decades and more. She's worked in many different salons and has amazing stories to share. Now Karie and Holli, along with Casey, share the conversation with you: how does one become a hair stylist? (and is the correct term "hair stylist"?) How do you stand for ALL THOSE HOURS? What is it like working for a salon as opposed to owning your own? How much latitude do you usually get with people's hair and look? If you've had the same look too long, maybe it's time to check out ? Find Karie: Listen to Hair Talk with Karie Koltz:

Episode 2: Partners in Business — and in Life

Episode 2: Partners in Business — and in Life
Could you be in business with your life partner? It has its own challenges, for sure, but it also comes with many rewards, like growing together, lending your strengths and filling each others’ skill gaps, understanding your partner’s work schedules (because it’s yours too!), and so on. Emily Austin and Eric Martin are partners in their successful real estate business and partners in their successful life! Though neither of them started out with an eye to real estate, they came to it organically and with a real understanding and appreciation of the skills they’d gathered in their professional lives to date. It’s been an “unconventional” journey, but then, their golden retriever is in their business logo and delivers the keys to new home owners, so “unconventional” is sort of their thing. Lifelong commitments are also sort of their thing: the commitment they share with each other and their business extends to their clients as well. As Eric says, “We’re always amazed when we hear a realtor use the term ‘former’ client.” Guest Info: Residential Realtors: Emily Austin and Eric Martin, Austin and Martin Broker Team Website: Facebook: Instagram: Youtube: Instagram @careerspotlightpodcast Twitter @careerspotpod We hope you find the podcast inspiring - as a thank you, download your complimentary Getting Ready Guide today: .

Episode 1: Introducing the Career Spotlight Podcast!
Welcome to episode 1 of the Career Spotlight Podcast! Casey and Holli Margell met at a concert 17 years ago. They both loved music, owned the same business books, and were career focused. But their career paths have been very different. One of them has had a more linear trajectory, the other a more circuitous one. One had worked as a nanny, and one currently owns a business. Can you guess who is who? Two kids and many jobs later, the Margells have a lot of wisdom to share about the many different professional routes that are possible. Tune in for the inaugural episode of the Career Spotlight podcast to hear about the bumps and the bright spots of your hosts’ careers.
