NOT ON THE RESUME: The stories you can’t bullet-point

Tanner Bowman: Betting on Yourself Without a Safety Net

For the very first episode of Not On the Resume, Victoria sits down with her husband, Tanner Bowman, for a conversation that goes far beyond titles and timelines. From choosing between being a Division I athlete or serving an LDS mission, to navigating uncertainty, loneliness, and unexpected chapters like driving Lyft, Tanner shares what it really looks like to follow your gut when the “right” path doesn’t feel right. They unpack childhood, trauma, internal versus external locus of control, and how resilience is built when plans fall apart. This episode sets the tone for the podcast - it's an honest, human conversation about the career decisions and life moments that never make it onto a resume.
