In part 2 of our discussion with paper executive, Chris Wetherford, we dive into a variety of impactful topics. We explore the unique challenges veterans face when transitioning into civilian careers, with an emphasis on the job search process post-military service. The discussion then shifts to a bold response from an overqualified employee telling their boss, "I want to take your job," highlighting ambition in the workplace. We also touch on the importance of gratitude and making a meaningful difference in any role.

Leadership plays a key role in the conversation, from raising the standards of a workforce to offering advice on how to effectively lead teams. Finally, we close by examining how the paper industry has adapted (or struggled to adapt) in an increasingly tech-driven world. Enjoy! Cheers!

In Part 2 of our exclusive interview with Indy sports radio host Jake Query, we dive into his life-changing experience surviving a widow maker heart attack in 2020. Jake shares how his near-death scare led to an unexpected bond with his heart surgeon, even bringing him along for spotting duties at the Indy 500—a friendship that’s still going strong today.

As proud Gen Xers, Jake and Brian take a nostalgic trip through their mutual love for Hootie and the Blowfish, which spirals into a fun discussion about music and classic movies. This candid chat hits all the notes of friendship, shared memories, and the bonds of our generation.

The episode wraps up with Jake’s inspiring story of giving back to the community, including his heartfelt tradition of inviting strangers to Thanksgiving dinner—a gesture born from the generosity he learned from his mother and his own experiences with loneliness while working in sports television in St. Louis.

Whether you're a fan of IndyCar racing, Gen X nostalgia, or powerful stories of resilience and generosity, this conversation has something for everyone. Grab a drink and enjoy Part 2 of our conversation with the one and only Jake Query! Cheers!
