Episode 24: Environmental Programs Coordinator

My position has changed recently, and that means I have to walk away from The Cool Jobs Podcast for now.  I won't say I'm walking away forever, but just for now.  I'd love it if I could pick the podcast back up at some point in the future, and look forward to restarting the conversation with each of you then. Thank you to everyone who has given this podcast a try, to all my guests, and those who were regular listeners.  I wish you the very best.
