098: PRIDE NRG – ‘Look For The Cool Stuff ‘ – Lynn Baker & Bryan Miller - Part 1

This Humana Life

Part 1 of the conversation with PRIDE Co-Presidents, Bryan Miller & Lynn Baker was fun & insightful. We talked about many topics such as mentoring, networking, culture, and what they wish they knew when they started their careers and want to pass on to others. They are a dynamic duo leading the PRIDE NRG into the future. We learned of Bryan’s work with Disney, which explains the forever excitement in his voice and zest for fun, and Lynn was a former exchange student exclaiming to be open to learning new things. Bryan talks about looking for the ‘cool stuff’ beyond your required work and Lynn echoes his thought saying there is always something to fix or do. Speaking of the ‘cool stuff,’ This Humana Life Podcast Team thinks Bryan and Lynn is ‘cool stuff’ and enjoyed learning from them. Speaking of more ‘cool stuff,’ Part 2 will dive deeper into their work with the PRIDE NRG. We look forward to hearing about their accomplishments and new goals.
