Welcome to another episode of LIFE WORK BALANCES
Today I had the chance to revisit with the very first guest on LIFE WORK BALANCES, Nick Franco. While Nick still holds the same position that he did 2 years ago, we had a lot to talk about in terms of what have changed, evolved, and grown in his life since the time that we sat down to record that very first interview. It was a really fantastic chat, and I am very excited for you all to hear it. One quick audio note: we recorded this conversation over lunch in a common area of campus, so there is a bit of background noise, but you should be able to hear Nick and I just fine. We talked about blogging, different platforms for expression, breathing, intention setting, research, multiracial identity, expanding responsibilities, finding passion, auto-ethnography, travel, tennis, exercise, and a whole lot more!

Welcome to another Wednesday morning and another episode of LIFE WORK BALANCES!
Today I sat down to chat with Peter Maribel, who is a PhD student at the University of San Diego who works in their Global Center. I’ve gotten to know Peter of the past year, and hearing bits of his story and seeing is scholarship I really wanted to hear how it all comes together and makes up his experience so far. I enjoyed every moment of it, and I am sure you will too. We talked about growing up in Kenya, using one’s imagination, getting involved in student parliament, traveling, faith, community building, feeling called to change careers, computers, and starting a family. We also spoke out getting outside and exploring, hiking, finding commonality, learning about new places, playing with Peter’s new child and partner, seeing Los Angeles, and much more!

Hi there, and welcome to another Wednesday morning with another episode of LIFE WORK BALANCES!
Today I had the chance to sit down with Kenyon Whitman, who is a Graduate Assistant with the Center for Awareness, Service, and Action at the University of San Diego. Kenyon and I are in the same PhD program, and it was really great to get the chance to sit down and talk about how he got to be where he is, and some of what has influenced his journey. We talked about family and the importance of staying connected, maintaining a relationship with mentors, and his experiences as a student athlete. We also talked about Kenyon’s love for salsa dancing, taking time for phone calls and skype with family, spoken word poetry, and the importance of knowing one’s self and the perspective that it provides.

Can you believe its been a whole year of LIFE WORK BALANCES? I know, its hard to imagine. Every Wednesday for the past year I have given you a new story of a person that works with college students, and hopefully with them have been able to offer so new insights into how they each work on finding balance and recharging themselves.
After a year of these conversations, I thought it would be nice to go back to the beginning. I sat down with Nick Franco, and Nick asked me all about how I got to where I am, and we also talked about the year of hosting the podcast, what it has meant for me, and where I see it going from here. I had a great time talking to Nick (I always do), and I look forward to another year of all of the fun that is LIFE WORK BALANCES!

Dan is also a graduate of the University of San Diego’s PhD program in Leadership Studies, and a great professional who is starting his life as a faculty member!

Hi everyone, and welcome to another episode of LIFE WORK BALANCES!
Today, I sat down with John Loggins, Associate Director for The Center for Community Service Learning at the University of San Diego. It was awesome to sit down and learn more about John, since most of our interactions had been around a class that I am taking for which John is a TA. John and I talked about his experiences moving as a child, how the Peace Corps. gets his foot in so many doors, working on a Disney Cruise, and choosing to do his own assignments in a doctoral program, and the connections between work and identity. We also talked about helping students find connections, world traveling, So You Think You Can Dance, politics, transforming and creating new spaces, understanding one’s purpose, and the curiosity that drives people to grow, learn, and explore.
