390 Real-World Detours: Liam’s 7-Year Reality Check
from Disrupt Education Podcast · host Disrupt Education Podcast
Seven years after his first appearance on Disrupt Education as a college sophomore, Liam Sundling returns to reflect on the winding road from confident environmental engineering student to navigating the real-world messiness of early career shifts, getting fired, pivoting paths, and finding his groove in environmental consulting. Liam shares honest insights about the transition from "college plus" to adulting, the lessons learned in failed sales gigs, and how the dirty work of field testing asbestos is strangely fulfilling. He opens up about leadership, life balance, and the importance of being open to things you don’t like in school. If you’ve ever questioned your career path, hated history class, or wondered if being a “tryhard” is cool (spoiler: it is), this episode is for you. It’s raw, real, and packed with wisdom for students, educators, and twenty-somethings trying to figure it all out.Episode #30 with Liam Sundling (7 years ago) - https://youtu.be/o5A_efjbrXYConnect with Liam at [email protected] out www.disrupteducationpodcast.com for more!Connect with Alli and PeterPeter HostrawserLI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterhostrawser/IG: https://www.instagram.com/peterhostrawser/FB: https://www.facebook.com/disrupteducation1/X: x.com/PeterHostrawserWebsite: https://www.peterhostrawser.comAlli DahlLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/allidahl/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theallidahl/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theallidahl
