Pivoting: A Series with Kimberly Martin

02/22/21 • 31 min

Adulting 101. A podcast on everything they NEVER taught us in school.

Covid-19 has hit certain industries such as the tourism industry in the Caribbean hard. Persons working in this industry have either lost their jobs or are working and only receiving a percentage of their salary.
In this episode we hear from Kimberly Martin, Assistant Learning and Development Manager at a well known hotel in Montego Bay, Jamaica. When Covid-19 hit Jamaica, she had to make a decision to either sit on her hands or find a way to make some extra money. Not only did she have her day to day bills to pay but she also started the process of purchasing a home. Not only was she affected but her spouse who also works in the hotel industry was also affected. They came together to form the MCM Group ( MCM Events Stylist, Merge Creative Media).
The major take away from this episode is that whatever you put your mind to do you can do it. No matter what is happening in your surroundings (pandemic, naysayers ) etc. you can still accomplish your goals.

Pivoting: A Series with Marc Chin

On the second episode in the Pivoting Series, I interview Marc Chin, DJ of the world-renowned sound Coppershot. Marc Chin's ultimate goal is to bring happiness to people and he surely accomplishes that each times he plays at an event.
In 2020 when COVID-19 hit, Marc made the decision to pivot to real estate. With the support of his family it has been a great transition for him. In the interview Marc also speaks about his mental health during the period and how he dealt with it. His passion for brining happiness to people through music translated to his new role, where he is able to provide people with the security of a new home.
According to Marc the show must go on and we should always strive to be a better version of ourselves each and every day.
