WEBVTT - Introducing: On the Job, Episode 3

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Hey, brain stuff listeners. Today we've got another preview for

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.240
<v Speaker 1>you of the podcast On the Job. We've run a

0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:08.840
<v Speaker 1>couple of these already. The stick is that we've teamed

0:00:08.920 --> 0:00:10.960
<v Speaker 1>up with them to bring you a few samples of

0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:14.240
<v Speaker 1>what they do, which is engaged with professionals from all

0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:17.920
<v Speaker 1>kinds of businesses about what they do, from nursing via

0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:23.080
<v Speaker 1>helicopter to private investigation. Through these stories, the team tries

0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:26.720
<v Speaker 1>to help explain and explore different aspects of what working

0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:30.080
<v Speaker 1>means in our world today. They're sponsoring us to run

0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:32.960
<v Speaker 1>these samples. I think it's a good fit because it's

0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 1>a look into how different jobs work. In today's episode,

0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:40.320
<v Speaker 1>they're speaking with a long term employee about how she

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 1>stayed with her company for forty years and how she

0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:47.640
<v Speaker 1>knew that staying was the right decision. We'll feature some

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.760
<v Speaker 1>previews of future episodes in the future, though. If you

0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:54.240
<v Speaker 1>want to hear more or explore their previous six seasons,

0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 1>you can find On the Job from Express Employment Services

0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>wherever you get your podcasts.

0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Well.

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 3>I think it's a cliche. You stay at a job

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:09.200
<v Speaker 3>if you really have passion for what you're doing, if

0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 3>you enjoy it. It also is the company itself, their

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:18.120
<v Speaker 3>passion and what their mission is. It's really fun to

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 3>come in every day. I'm Terry Weldon, the senior vice

0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:26.240
<v Speaker 3>president of Support Services at Express.

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 2>Do you have any nicknames at work?

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:36.080
<v Speaker 3>Most of the time they call me te Dub or

0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 3>every now and then they call me things that I

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 3>can't repeat.

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:44.360
<v Speaker 2>That's Terry Weldon aka t Dub. And despite her youthful

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 2>voice and sprightliness, Terry has been with the company for

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 2>a long time, having worked with the founder of Express

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 2>before the company was even a glimmer in his entrepreneurial ie,

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Terry has been here since the very beginning. So as

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:03.160
<v Speaker 2>Express celebrates it's fortieth year in business, we thought who

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 2>better to talk to for this episode of On the

0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 2>Job than teed up herself to get some insight into

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 2>the work that goes on behind the scenes, and maybe,

0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.760
<v Speaker 2>if we're lucky, Terry can give us some tips on

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.520
<v Speaker 2>how to keep showing up day after day with the

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 2>same level of passion she so obviously has for her job.

0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Despite being here longer than Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 2>have been alive.

0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:30.959
<v Speaker 3>When you put it that way, that's a really long time.

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:33.120
<v Speaker 3>But I have been at it for four decades. Yes,

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 3>my office specifically is a little bit of a mess.

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:41.680
<v Speaker 3>There's a stack of papers, but you always know where

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 3>what you need is exactly where you want it.

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Terry Weldon wears many hats that express your primary goal

0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:52.640
<v Speaker 2>is to support the hundreds of franchises spread around the world.

0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:57.720
<v Speaker 2>In other words, she's home base Mission Control.

0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 3>And our franchises and all of their staff work so

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:05.960
<v Speaker 3>very hard every day. We have that opportunity to stand

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:11.200
<v Speaker 3>behind them and support them by providing them information answers.

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 3>But sometimes it's just a matter of holding their hand

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:20.360
<v Speaker 3>and making them feel confident, making them feel comfortable, making

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:24.959
<v Speaker 3>sure that they feel like they know what they're talking about. Overall,

0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.520
<v Speaker 3>we say we provide hope, and it truly is. We

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 3>provide hope to people every day.

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 2>So no, Terry didn't plan it all out. She just

0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:37.920
<v Speaker 2>showed up on day one excited to work. And then

0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 2>she did that.

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 4>Again and again and again and again again and again

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 4>and again again and again and again and again and

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 4>again again again and again and again and again and again.

0:03:50.520 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 2>Well you get the idea. Did you ever feel like

0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 2>sticking with this job for as long as you have

0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 2>that you missed other opportunities.

0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 3>Every now and then, when you're sitting alone and you're

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.240
<v Speaker 3>thinking about where you've been and what you've done your

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:16.599
<v Speaker 3>entire life, there comes a time when you wonder, was

0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:19.839
<v Speaker 3>there something else out there? Did I miss something? Should

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.799
<v Speaker 3>I have tried something else? And it comes back every

0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:27.520
<v Speaker 3>time to me. Doing what you love and enjoying it

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:31.359
<v Speaker 3>is not worth my time to second guess. I've done this.

0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:37.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm happy, my family's happy. We're working with an organization

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:41.839
<v Speaker 3>that provides people hope. So there's times that you think

0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 3>about that and you turn around and say, no, what

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 3>else could I have done that would have been this fulfilling?

0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:55.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, Terry, I know you're pretty happy over there at Express,

0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:57.279
<v Speaker 2>but if you ever want to switch it up, I

0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 2>think you've got a bright future in podcasting.

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:10.039
<v Speaker 3>I'm still nervous from the job.

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:11.640
