In today’s episode, I had the opportunity to talk with Jess Jurgenson the founder of Business Casual, a connection agency based in Portland, Oregon that is on a mission to give professional experiences a new reputation. With a background in general operations and recruiting for the last 10 years, Jess helps companies recruit directly for their teams using modern techniques like social media and provides consulting advice on their recruiting operations. She also hosts quarterly networking events for professionals in leadership, sales and professional services that have a unique design to drive connections. The events focus on professional development topics and experiences, engineered to build professional camaraderie instead of cold pitching.

What I appreciate about our time together is Jess’s tenacity for her work and hearing about the adversity she faced as she transitioned into the recruiting profession.

In today’s episode, I had the opportunity to talk with Nathan Webster, the founder of NW & Associates, voice of the Let’s Talk Marketing podcast, executive director of Oregon Association of Minority Entrepreneurs, and founder of The Connected Trust, where he is focused on creating safe spaces for local leaders to build authentic communities providing for both personal and professional growth.

What I appreciate about our time together is Nathan’s transparency around the lack of support he felt growing up and the journey he took to embrace his unique capabilities and values.

In today’s episode, I had the opportunity to talk coaches William Hayes and Rodney Akins of Bridge City Fathers, Advocates, and Mentors.


During our call we got to dive deep into the challenging childhoods that coach William and Rodney both experienced and how it inspired them to start a non-profit serving kids with similar backgrounds. What I appreciate most about our conversation is the candor in which they spoke regarding their stories and the lengths they’ve gone to empower our youth.
