1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Hey, brain stuff listeners. Today we've got another preview for

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: you of the podcast On the Job. We've run a

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: couple of these already. The stick is that we've teamed

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 1: up with them to bring you a few samples of

5
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: what they do, which is engaged with professionals from all

6
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 1: kinds of businesses about what they do, from nursing via

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 1: helicopter to private investigation. Through these stories, the team tries

8
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: to help explain and explore different aspects of what working

9
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: means in our world today. They're sponsoring us to run

10
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: these samples. I think it's a good fit because it's

11
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: a look into how different jobs work. In today's episode,

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: they're speaking with a long term employee about how she

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: stayed with her company for forty years and how she

14
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: knew that staying was the right decision. We'll feature some

15
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: previews of future episodes in the future, though. If you

16
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: want to hear more or explore their previous six seasons,

17
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: you can find On the Job from Express Employment Services

18
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts.

19
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: Well.

20
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 3: I think it's a cliche. You stay at a job

21
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 3: if you really have passion for what you're doing, if

22
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 3: you enjoy it. It also is the company itself, their

23
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 3: passion and what their mission is. It's really fun to

24
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 3: come in every day. I'm Terry Weldon, the senior vice

25
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 3: president of Support Services at Express.

26
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: Do you have any nicknames at work?

27
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 3: Most of the time they call me te Dub or

28
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: every now and then they call me things that I

29
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: can't repeat.

30
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: That's Terry Weldon aka t Dub. And despite her youthful

31
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: voice and sprightliness, Terry has been with the company for

32
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: a long time, having worked with the founder of Express

33
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: before the company was even a glimmer in his entrepreneurial ie,

34
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 2: Terry has been here since the very beginning. So as

35
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: Express celebrates it's fortieth year in business, we thought who

36
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: better to talk to for this episode of On the

37
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: Job than teed up herself to get some insight into

38
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: the work that goes on behind the scenes, and maybe,

39
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: if we're lucky, Terry can give us some tips on

40
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 2: how to keep showing up day after day with the

41
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: same level of passion she so obviously has for her job.

42
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: Despite being here longer than Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift

43
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: have been alive.

44
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 3: When you put it that way, that's a really long time.

45
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 3: But I have been at it for four decades. Yes,

46
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 3: my office specifically is a little bit of a mess.

47
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 3: There's a stack of papers, but you always know where

48
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 3: what you need is exactly where you want it.

49
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: Terry Weldon wears many hats that express your primary goal

50
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 2: is to support the hundreds of franchises spread around the world.

51
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: In other words, she's home base Mission Control.

52
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: And our franchises and all of their staff work so

53
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 3: very hard every day. We have that opportunity to stand

54
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 3: behind them and support them by providing them information answers.

55
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: But sometimes it's just a matter of holding their hand

56
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 3: and making them feel confident, making them feel comfortable, making

57
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 3: sure that they feel like they know what they're talking about. Overall,

58
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 3: we say we provide hope, and it truly is. We

59
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 3: provide hope to people every day.

60
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: So no, Terry didn't plan it all out. She just

61
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: showed up on day one excited to work. And then

62
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: she did that.

63
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 4: Again and again and again and again again and again

64
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 4: and again again and again and again and again and

65
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 4: again again again and again and again and again and again.

66
00:03:50,520 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: Well you get the idea. Did you ever feel like

67
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: sticking with this job for as long as you have

68
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: that you missed other opportunities.

69
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 3: Every now and then, when you're sitting alone and you're

70
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 3: thinking about where you've been and what you've done your

71
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 3: entire life, there comes a time when you wonder, was

72
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 3: there something else out there? Did I miss something? Should

73
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,799
Speaker 3: I have tried something else? And it comes back every

74
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 3: time to me. Doing what you love and enjoying it

75
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 3: is not worth my time to second guess. I've done this.

76
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 3: I'm happy, my family's happy. We're working with an organization

77
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 3: that provides people hope. So there's times that you think

78
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 3: about that and you turn around and say, no, what

79
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 3: else could I have done that would have been this fulfilling?

80
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 2: Well, Terry, I know you're pretty happy over there at Express,

81
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 2: but if you ever want to switch it up, I

82
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: think you've got a bright future in podcasting.

83
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 3: I'm still nervous from the job.
