Project Undergrad

Fast paced life often leads to feelings of tiredness, emptiness, and depletion, but not many realize the negative effects busyness can have on an individual. Dr. Jim Martin, Vice President of the Harding School of Theology, sits down with Jon and Tyler to discuss how replenishment positively impacts us, personal rest practices, and anxiety tips. More specifically, be sure to check out how Dr. Martin starts his mornings through prayer, journaling, exercising and reading as well as his personal mindfulness tips when feeling overwhelmed.

Did you know that 85 percent of job positions available today are filled via networking? So, how can a college student network more effectively? The Project Undergrad team sits down with Charlie Elkins, VP of Business Development at Loar Group, to discuss the fundamentals of networking including relationship building, curiosity and listening, and how those fundamentals have created a "what can I do for you?" attitude in Charlie's work career so far. Please reach out to Charlie at [email protected] with any questions you might have. Jon and Tyler are available to personally connect at [email protected]. Please email us with any suggestions or podcast topic ideas you might have. Connect with us on Instagram @huwaldroncenter and on LinkedIn at Waldron Center for Entrepreneurship and Family Business.

Humans will spend an average of 90,000 hours of time working throughout their lifetime. So, with so much time dedicated to work, how do we do it with purpose? President and CEO of national non-profit Workmatters, David Roth, joins Project Undergrad to answer that question with conversations about about Faith and Work in the marketplace. David, Jon and Tyler talk about the purpose of work, the importance of relationships, abiding in God in the workplace, and "blooming where you are planted."  If you want more information about Workmatters and access to advanced workplace resources, please visit their website at workmatters.org.  Please reach out to Jon and Tyler at [email protected] with any questions or podcast ideas you might have.
