TBO Episode 5 Adam T

We’re joined by Adam Tilford, a Webster Groves Alumni, and the Co-Owner of Mission Taco. We recorded this live with my students on zoom today, but I forgot to hit the record button until a few seconds into the interview. I kick it off by asking Adam about his favorite Turkey Day memory and then from there we discuss how challenging running a restaurant has been during Covid19, his background and story of becoming an entrepreneur and the new Kirkwood location set to open as soon as retaurants are back in business.

TBO Episode 4 Suzanne H

Today we are going to be talking about what it’s like to make a complete career change after you’ve graduated college, worked for a couple years and realize what you just spent the last 4 or 5 years studying to do, isn’t really what you want to do with the rest of your life...We will also parlay that into a conversation about how important finding your passions is and letting that guide your career choices. Joining us is another 2011 KHS Graduate, Suzanne Hesse. Suzanne Graduated from University of Arkansas in 2015 with a degree in Finance and Real Estate, she then worked for JB Hunt for a couple years as a Sales Manager and Logistics Coordinator and then decided it was time for a change into the airlines.
