Behind the Mic
Show Host & Producer
My name is Jennifer Walker, and I'm a freelance writer and a mom to three little kids, and I love hearing about how people built careers they love. I grew up thinking that full-time, post-education work was an inevitable and unenjoyable necessity. So I never get tired of hearing how people have found meaningful work. On the We Built This Life podcast, I tell stories about how entrepreneurs, freelancers, and others who work for themselves built their careers. We'll talk about their motivations for choosing their work, the paths they took to achieve their own versions of success, and the risks they took along the way. There will also be advice and resources for people who want to carve out their own career path and build their working lives from the ground up. Thank you so much for listening!
