Worksleeve started in 2018 as a weekly podcast to help engineering students get internships and entry level jobs. I was able to engage with students from all over the world and see my advice actually affect them in their career planning. I committed to this weekly podcast every single Wednesday for an entire year. In 2019, Worksleeve turned into a monthly podcast that focused on Asian American Studies, where I was able to meet so many individuals from across this country and hear their stories as Asian Americans. The podcast also took me to my first trip to New York City where I recorded a live interview at the Asian American Hotel Owners Association. And for the past 50 days, I’ve been recording and publishing this podcast to document the events that occur in my life as well as some content reflecting my creative process in podcasting. Today, August 10th, 2020, this will be the second to last episode of Worksleeve. If I was to write a book, Worksleeve will be a significant chapter… and like with all chapters, there must be an ending. As I prepare for the next chapter, I am now in a position in my life where I am embarking on a greater challenge of serving my community and making an Impact in South Dakota, which is my home. I am starting a business and am going back to school for my MBA. There will be one final episode of Worksleeve that will be published at the end of August. Thank you so much for listening to this podcast, and Id also like to take this moment and thank all the guests that have been on the show - its been truly a pleasure to speak with each and everyone of you. I’ve learned so many lessons in each conversation. ------------- PSA: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is working to help keep you and your community safe from the threat of novel, or new coronavirus.
