b'One of the things that makes this Podcast so much fun to produce is the opportunity I have to meet talented people who do interesting things. In this episode we meet Mary Sullivan, whom you have most likely never heard of. She works with Mike Rowe, whom you have most certainly heard of. Mary is the President of mikeroweWORKS, a foundation that donates tens of thousands of scholarship dollars to people who seek a job in the skilled trades. But Mary is much more than a corporate executive: she is a gifted and compassionate leader, an attorney, a biologist, a Hollywood agent, and a force to be reckoned with. She lives one of the ideals of her own foundation: When hard work follows passion, magic happens. In this episode, Mary shares her nonlinear journey from growing up in Maryland to working with Mike Rowe and helping hundreds of people achieve their dreams. There are some serious messages and compelling lessons in this episode\\u2014enjoy.
