When you think of gradating - most people feel extremely excited and accomplished. This year, due to COVID - many college graduates didn't fully experience what it was like to walk across that stage and receive your diploma. Graduation was now attached to sadness and maybe even some resentment.  How did some graduates cope and was it difficult entering the job market?  Meet Tara and Shannon. Two graduates from the class of 2020 whose experience wasn't what was expected.

We are so excited to introduce our guest, John James Ryan!   John has made his career in the touring sector of the music industry over the last 15 years. He's spent time on the road as a tour manager with some of the largest alternative national bands including Four Year Strong, The Wonder Years, Streetlight Manifesto, and The Story So Far while also managing and playing saxophone in his own band Keep Flying.  Through all the crazy nights in a van, bus, festivals, and shows, he shares his tales from the road.  Now - due to Covid-19, John has been navigating his life from home, instead of on the road. That was one of the biggest changes of all, which eventually led him to slow down and grow as a person.
