11/22/22 • 62 min
3 Listeners
Marisa Eikenberry started in web development when her instructor pointed out a career path she didn't consider. Years later, she began editing podcasts by accident (previous sound engineering training) and quickly realized she loved it. And when her co-worker asked her to co-host a new podcast, she said YES despite never considering that as a possibility.
"He was like, you should go into web development, forget sound, go into our emerging media program instead."
In this episode, you will learn:
1. The power of saying yes when others see things in us that we never considered before
2. Marisa's experience as a web developer, podcast editor, and co-host, including her thoughts on the podcasting medium
Marisa Eikenberry is a web developer and podcaster. She has a degree in web development from Ball State University and has worked in the field for over six years. She edits three company podcasts and also co-hosts the "Long-Distance Worklife" podcast about remote work.
Marisa has been developing websites for The Kevin Eikenberry Group since she graduated from Ball State University in 2014. She also provides tech support for her team and DISC Personality Testing, shoots videos, and edits podcasts like The Remarkable Leadership Podcast, Talk Like a Leader, and Long-Distance Worklife. She has been married to her husband, Parker, since 2016 and resides in Indianapolis. Outside of work, Marisa enjoys playing video games with her husband, cooking, and volunteering with an online church and her local Phi Mu Fraternity alumnae chapter, as well as making her way through her never-ending stack of to-be-read books.

From Behavior Analyst to Award-Winning Filmmaker | Robin Hofmann
Robin Hofmann is a certified behavior analyst and award-winning film producer, writer, and director.
"For the first time in my life, I felt in the right place."
In this episode, we discuss the following:
1. Robin Hofmann's experience as a parent of a child with autism and how it has helped her in her career
2. Her experience making her gluten-free recipes and how this led to her production of a baking show
3. Robin's experience making her first movie during the COVID-19 pandemic and how this led to a life shift for her into the world of filmmaking
"Making films is my passion and my purpose."
Robin Hofmann was always interested in film and TV but was discouraged from pursuing it as a career by her stepfather. Instead, she got a degree in psychology and spent 27 years working with people with disabilities. When Robin could no longer film her baking show due to Covid, she decided to write and produce her own movie. She has found her true passion in filmmaking and loves every minute of it.
Robin Hofmann is an award-winning writer, director, and producer. She started producing content to spread awareness and highlight individuals who may not have had a voice otherwise. Before getting into film, Robin earned her degree in Psychology and spent 27 years working with individuals with disabilities. Her film journey began with an online baking show focusing on gluten-free recipes and spreading awareness of disabilities. Shortly after, she began interviewing “ordinary people with extraordinary stories” on her online talk show, Chat with Me. These experiences brought her to the art of filmmaking, where she began writing, producing, and directing independent films. https://hoffysheartproductions.com/
