Welcome back to the What Nik Knows Podcast! I\\u2019m your host Dr. Nikki Sammet and you\\u2019re about to listen to my most cherished episode ever! I recorded an episode with my husband, Jarrod! We\\u2019ve been talking about this the entire time I\\u2019ve had my podcast - that we should record our conversations and While our son snoozed soundly away we recorded an episode together and today is the day you finally get to hear one of them.

As you\\u2019ll hear today, Jarrod, is a very special person and I\\u2019m not just saying that because he\\u2019s my husband. He\\u2019s an incredible father, leader, and friend. His philosophy on life is so profound so grab your notebooks and get ready to write things down. I guarantee you\\u2019ll ask yourself, \\u201cis this guy always so positive?\\u201d And to answer the question, YES\\u2026yes he is.

I should have known that my husband would wear multiple hats in our life\\u2026 my parents were the same growing up. Therapists, parents, friends, etc. That\\u2019s what Jarrod is for me- he\\u2019s all the things. Husband, father, best friend, coach, partner, inspiration, guide, and so much more. I\\u2019ve had the honor of watching him blossom into himself over the past 10 years and it\\u2019s been such a gift.

Jarrod is currently a Director of Operations at Insight Global, a Professional Services organization, where he has spent the last 9.5 years of his career. He is currently in the midst of a transition to Managing Director of Culture and Leadership Strategy where he will focus on culture change and leadership development under the building blocks of Emotional Intelligence and Personal Development. Jarrod has been in leadership the past 8 years, is a practitioner\\xa0of Transcendental Meditation\\xa0(TM), and has taught Mindfulness and Personal Development practices within his organization. He lives in Encinitas, CA with his wife of 5.5 years Nikki, his 15 month old son Jake, and dog Pax. Jarrod's core philosophy centers around taking care of yourself first before you can take care of\\xa0others and the world around you.
