My name is Urhotwithscott Kellner and I’m passionate about helping young people transition from the classroom into a career. I’ve been fortunate so far in my career but it’s clear that when I was in college I did not understand what kind of careers were possible in finance outside of working for a bank, a hedge fund or selling products. And there in lies the spirit of this podcast. Digital mentorship where hopefully young people getting ready to start their careers can gain some insight into what kind of careers there are.

If you can think about what you wanted to do when you were declaring a major or getting ready to graduate, is that anything close to what you ended up doing? Do you think somebody else getting ready to graduate has any idea that a job or career or your business even exists?

In this episode of Digital Mentorship, my guest is Jaxson Perry. Jaxson is a customer success manager at Dental Intelligence Inc. and is one of the most passionate people I know. This is one of my longest episodes and for a good reason!

In his time as an account representative at Pharma Logistics, he continued focusing on process improvement in a heavily regulated and complicated industry. Now, as an Enterprise CSM, Jaxson has doubled down on his passion for customer experience while developing processes to sustain further growth. Both of us study and practice mindfulness, and we talk about Jaxsons two favorite books, "Tao Te Ching" and "The Power of Now." Both books have made impacts in his life and have helped Jaxson form a potent identity. We discuss resume tips and tricks and how you can improve your resume. Finally, Jaxsons tips for young adults or working professionals, focus on your "why" in his darkest times; it was his guiding light.
