The Title Doesn’t Matter
Podcast Description
Join me as I talk to people from all walks of life about their careers, jobs, side-gigs, or even passion projects, and how the title they’re given never tells the full story of the work that they do.
Podcast Insights
Content Themes
Focuses on career journeys, professional challenges, and personal passions with episodes discussing the complexities of work-life balance, entrepreneurial endeavors, and industry insights, such as Jason Tucker’s experience in electrical engineering and Devin Rafus’s perspective as a criminal defense attorney.
The Title Doesn’t Matter is an interview format podcast exploring the lived experience behind the label. Each week, I talk with people across industries and career stages — from entrepreneurship to education and everywhere in between — about what their work actually looks like: the parts that don’t make it into a résumé or bio.
From startup founders and classroom teachers to corporate leaders and creatives, my guests and I unpack unexpected career pivots, hidden responsibilities, quiet doubts, and defining breakthroughs. This podcast dives into the nuance and intricacies that titles can’t capture — the growth, the ambiguity, the lessons learned, and the identity we build beyond a line on a business card.
Because at the end of the day, always remember, the title doesn’t matter; you do.
Episode 25: Senior Project Manager
For this episode of The Title Doesn’t Matter, I sit down with my uncle, Chris Stone, a Senior Project Manager at AECOM, where he works on environmental remediation construction projects across the United States. We talk about what it takes to manage large-scale projects that clean up and restore contaminated sites, the coordination required to bring engineers, contractors, and subcontractors together, and the fulfilment that comes with work that directly impacts communities and the environment.
Chris also shares his unconventional career path — including spending seven years working in the restaurant industry after college before deciding to apply his degree in metallurgical engineering. We talk about how that experience shaped his work ethic and leadership style. We even get into a thoughtful discussion about his retirement plans and philosophies — what it means to step away from work and think about life beyond your career. It’s an honest look at career growth, professional development, and how the path to a meaningful career is rarely a straight line.
