The PhD Concussion Researcher (featuring Dr. David Howell)
07/27/20 • 65 min
The last few months have you itching for some hasty and politicized scientific claims? Spoiler alert: you won’t be happy with this pod, as we interview David Howell, a PhD researcher on concussions in sports.
Prior to the interview, we check in on our working definitions of dream jobs -- 18 episodes in -- and how we’d self-grade ourselves. Then join us as we go deeper than Will Smith in ‘Concussion’ to learn about the state of concussion research (hint: we’re decades out from firm conclusions), just what it means to be a professor and clinical researcher, and the details for how David went from the sideline and lab at the University of Oregon to one of the top researchers in his field. Throughout, we touch on topics like the importance of credibility/expertise in finding your dream job, being attuned to when you’re ‘resonating’ in a role/job and how that can be a hint toward your dream job journey, and some of the challenges/frictions you’ll face, even in a dream job (grant proposal rejections!).
If you enjoy the episode, follow-us, share us, and write a review. And if you want updates on the state of concussion research, follow David: @howellDR on Twitter

FREE CHICK-FIL-A FOR EVERYONE!!!
Not really. But now that we have your attention, checkout our conversation this week with Julian Hollar, Owner/Operator of the Chick-Fil-A at I-405 and Jefferson in Los Angeles, CA. From having direct, unmediated access to his customers to working alongside coworkers who are (mostly) too young to remember 9/11, there's a lot that sets Julian's job apart from many of the previous guests on the #DreamJob. But from finding meaning through serving others to connecting his 9-5 with a personally meaningful impact on the world, there is much that he shares in common with #dreamjobbers everywhere.
Join us as Julian talks about the challenges of launching one of the 5 busiest locations in the entire franchise and stick around long enough to hear Kent's story about the most awkward interaction he had during his stink Assistant Managing a Target store. #BackToWork #ItsOurPleasure
