About the show

This platform was created to help direct the careers of teens and young adults. The people who are being interviewed are people who took advantage of the passions they had and turned them into something they could monetize. These desires were not more than just hobbies but now a source of income that made these activities even more worthwhile. We should find joy in the things we love to do without having to feel limited in the amount of time we devote to them. Hope you enjoy and stay tuned for much more to come!

Episode 15: More Than Just Words

Meet Josh Robinson, a journalist from Atlanta, GA. However, I believe "journalist" is an understatement to describe what he does in the field. He turned a high school passion for writing and music into an avenue I am sure he did not see coming. From writing music articles that led him to meet several of the world's most influential artists to creating and selling his own comic book series. Hope you guys enjoy this episode and remember to Let Your Passion Work For You!

Episode 14: May the [Sales] Force Be With You

Meet Matthew Meadows (IG: matty_yy), a Salesforce Business Analyst from Atlanta, GA. This episode shares so many gems from the salesforce and consulting field, but also just ways to grow as an individual and professional. To be transparent, our first interview got lost in "space" and I was quite devastated to have lost a great interview, but could not rob my audience of the knowledge he shared. In the mere time of a few months, the growth from the initial interview to the one you will view now is amazing and powerful. This is definitely an episode where you would want to acknowledge the key points that will make a huge difference in your life regardless of field or passion. With that being said, I hope you all enjoy Episode 14 of Paid In Passion, and remember to Let Your Passion Work For You!

Episode 12: The Motivational Speaker

Meet Ammishaddai Grand-Jean. For those who know him, when he speaks everyone listens. So it makes sense that he has become a keynote speaker who has spoken in front of thousands. However, his journey is one that many, if not all, of us can relate to. Sometimes you’re on the bench of life waiting so patiently to get in the game and receive the fruits of your labor. The wisdom and encouragement in this interview are unmatched. Did I mention he’s a soon-to-be award-winning author? You can hear a motivational speech or order your own copy of Benchwarmers: What To Do When You’re On the Bench of Life (link will be provided). Tune in and enjoy another episode of Paid In Passion.
