For this episode history is made as I have my first ever Canadian born guest in Jackie Redmond of NHL Network on the podcast as we discuss her career, ambitions, goals, mindsets and how she got to where she is. We start out talking what we’ve been doing to stay occupied in light of COVID-19 pandemic (1:00). We talk about her career in sports broadcasting (5:25) and how she got to NHL Network, working at The Score, SportsNet and also she talks about her experience covering wrestling which included interviewing The Rock (10:20). We then talk about personality and mentality that got her to where she is today in her career (16:34). Her relationship with her Dad and how he helped her get to where she is.(18:51) I then ask what other professional and personal goals she has in addition to her work at NHL Network (20:45). We also talk podcasting and her experience on the Jack and Soph Podcast and her relationship with NESN Bruins rinkside reporter Sophia Jurksztowicz who was her podcast co-host (25:10).
