You can get everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want." ~Zig Ziglar Jared Easley is a self-described “everyday guy” who is passionate about connecting with others, communicating, leveraging new media &amp; cultivating a community of like-minded citizens. He is married to his amazing wife Rachel &amp; they have a beautiful daughter named Lana, and they live in South Florida - I found Jared though his podcast which I found motivational and the guest he had on the show I found myself relating to some fears I have with starting this podcast. After reaching out to congratulate him on the show and a few conversations later, I finally got the nerve to ask Jared to be on my show.  Jared Easley <ul> <li><a href="http://www.stravethedoubts.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.stravethedoubts.com</a></li> <li>Twitter: @jaredeasley </li> </ul> Topics Discussed <ul> <li>How "Starve the Doubts" podcast came to fruition.</li> <li>The importance of taking the first steps to achieving your goals.</li> <li>Jared talks about what is a podcast and the benefits of starting your own or listening to podcast.</li> <li>Why you should communicate your goals.</li> <li>Which social media network is best for networking.</li> </ul> Resources Mentioned <ul> <li><a href="http://www.lift.do" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.lift.do</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.pressgr.am" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pressgram - www.pressgr.am </a></li> <li><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000XPPW50/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000XPPW50&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=notyoutypultb-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned While Editing My Life </a>(Book)</li> </ul> Career Spotlight Video Game Tester (Quality Assurance, tester) <ul> <li><a href="http://www.gametester.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.gametester.com</a> - has a directory of employers and articles</li> <li><a href="http://www.gamediscovery.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.gamediscovery.com</a> - job listings and a game tester career description</li> </ul> Tip: Please do not "Pay to Play" when inquiring about QA gamer position.
