The Dream Job – with Ed Walker
This episode of the #RockstarsRocking podcast features Ed Walker, CEO of ArmadaCare, out of the Baltimore, Maryland area.
We begin our interview with a lookback at his winding path to his original “dream” job and why he enjoys air travel so much. We dig in further by talking about mentorship and his concern that in a virtual world, younger professionals may not have the same mentorship opportunity that he was afforded at their age.
As we get further in depth, we discuss tips for career individuals looking to move towards their goals – Ed even details his recommendations and how to be proactive. On the flip side, he also has advice for leaders and company executives when it comes to talent attraction and retention.
We round out the interview discussing what magic secret sauce works on him, personally, to take a random salesperson’s cold call, as well as what’s on the horizon for ArmadaCare.
