Garrett returns! After grilling Host Aaron in the Introduction, this episode is all about Garrett.
He talks about how his college experience interning at local TV stations turned into spending his entire first year after graduation searching for a job in his dream field.
Not one to simply give up, Garrett moved his job aspirations to a completely different industry and finally, settles on returning to school for a Master’s degree where one of his professors pointed him down the path he’s still on today.
Advice to Live By from This Episode: “Sometimes it comes down to a Plan C, or D, or E. But life is long. Even if you are successful in something now, it doesn’t mean you can’t be successful in other things in the future.” -Garrett

Aaron sat down with Emily in Washington, D.C. to talk life-upending medical diagnoses.
Emily tells her story about experiencing a sharp, searing pain behind her right eye starting in October 2012, which became total numbness & tingling down her entire right side – all at the age of 27. After a long series of doctor’s visits and tests, she finally received the news that she has an autoimmune disease in February 2013.
As Emily explains it, multiple sclerosis (“MS”) is an autoimmune disease where your immune system attacks your body, specifically your nervous system. If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms or something feels off, please visit a medical professional you trust!
Advice to Live By from This Episode: “For anybody potentially thinking about a career in medicine, become a neurologist!” –Emily
