This week, I had the pleasure of learning more about my wonderful colleague Ray Lawlor. Ray and I both work at The Customer Bureau (Helping iconic brands become customer centric) and a while back Ray approached me with an amazing story, his story. In his words, he didn’t know what he wanted to do until he was 30. Ray believes that learning and figuring out what you want to do is a constant process of life and that change is wonderful and nothing to be afraid of. This story is truly wild and I can’t wait to share it with you.

On this interview we spoke about:

  • Ray’s selftaught journey
  • From music to television to advertising to engineering (I mean, what?!)
  • Celebrating scholarship programs
  • A wonderful woman named Anne
  • Not being made for formal education
  • Supporting partners during freelancing and jumping from freelancing to company team member
  • The importance of having awesome colleagues
  • Giving kids the chance to be lifelong learners
  • A chat about priviledge
