Ep 9: Align Your Job With Your Life, Not Vice Versa
This week our episode digs into what it's like to be a woman in gas and oil or male dominated industries in general. We had a great time with our guest, Kristen Hogue, hearing her experience. She went through her entire career in oil and gas and shared her business, Scout Guide Abilene, with us.
Kristen's journey through oil and gas was a bit of a roller coaster because climbing the corporate ladder didn't lead where she imagined for awhile, but she made her way to the perfect job for her. She landed somewhere that supports her owning a business on the side so she can make a living while she builds her business.
It was really cool to hear about Scout Guide, the franchise she purchased, to curate a beautiful book that promotes local businesses and helps people find the best ways to shop local.
We enjoyed our conversation with Kristen about going to college or not. We love her stance on "find what you love and are good at and go do it". We completly agree! Even if you went to school for a specific career and you hate it, get out. Go follow your dreams and be happy!
We ended this pod by reading some comments from a post we made on TikTok asking women in a male dominated field "what is the craziest thing that a man said to you at work?" We hope that most of you haven't dealt with this.
