What are you reading?

Sweetness: The Enigmatic Life of Walter Payton by Jeff Pearlman.

Your favorite website?

Timetoenjoy.com. Buy and sell anything from one platform. Very convenient, cheap, and easy. (Also, my son created and owns the site.)

Your dream job?

Director of Research at World Bank (but current job is a close second).

 

Josh Edgar

What are you reading?

I just finished reading the Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins which was a super quick read. Currently, I’m reading East of Eden by John Steinbeck.

Your favorite website?

I don’t necessarily have a favorite website, but I tend to check the Wall Street Journal daily and enjoy checking Delivering Happiness and MPR.org a few times a week as they share some great positive stories.

Your dream job?

I’m really enjoying my new position at General Mills, but I’d love to someday be an adjunct professor as I’m always energized by working with students and getting back on campus.

What are you reading?

I am currently reading Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol, a book I have had on my shelf for quite some time. This author has a very fun style of writing that balances factual history with philosophy and mythology.

Your favorite website?

Right now, my favorite website is a user-generated aggregation site called Pinterest. This site allows users to post or “pin” links they find interesting or inspiring for others to see. Overall this is an excellent tool for generating ideas, as well as organizing potential projects.

Your dream job?

One of my greatest passions is baking. A dream job for me would be one that would allow me to share the fun of baking with others, and help people celebrate the special moments in life through food. Perhaps small-event catering?
