Season 3 Finale, Part 1- Featuring Jake Matthews, Natalie Hamel, and Matthew Rose

It's that time of year again... our highly anticipated SEASON FINALE is here- Part 1 of 3, that is. In Part 1, the PodSquad welcomes on three graduating Brock Sport Management Students to the show- Jake Matthews, Natalie Hamel, and Matthew Rose! The three panelists first talk about the mindset that has helped forge a successful tenure at Brock U, ranging from creating a positive attitude/culture, committing to open-mindedness, and a willingness to try new things, even if they may be outside of one's own comfort zone (5:48). They discuss how they were able to find certain niches in the sports industry that they were passionate about (and would hopefully like to pursue as a career) during their four years at Brock (8:02). The panelists also talk about things throughout their SPMA tenure that have helped the most in their professional development, ranging from club involvement to volunteering for a wide variety of organizations, regardless of which niche and setting. (13:12). Finally, the panelists "time travel" back to first year in 2018-19, and offer their "first-year" self some words of advice (22:39, probably the best part of the show in our opinion), as well as share some final thoughts to wrap up Part 1 (30:37). Thank you to Jake, Natalie, and Matthew for joining the show and being an awesome panel for Part 1! A huge shout-out to Jackson Pretli for co-hosting again! Keep up with the podcast on social!
