    The Adventurer | An Interview with Liza Tagliati of Boarding for Breast Cancer

    Living Your Passion with Action Sports Aficionado Liza Tagliati

    >
     

    In this episode of Toast Meets Jam, I catch up with Liza Tagliati, marketing manager for Boarding for Breast Cancer (B4BC) a non-profit foundation dedicated to providing breast cancer education, prevention and support programs for young people and the action sports community at large.

    Liza studied Biology at the University of San Diego though soon realized that pursuing a career in medicine wasn’t her life’s calling. After graduation, she took a year off before getting her Master’s Degree in Marketing  to work at a ski resort in Tahoe and soon came to realize that she wanted her love for boarding to become her career.

    She talks with me about how she was able to take her passion for sports and make it part of her life every day– both in and out of the office– and offers her advice to other young women who are looking to do the same.

    For more from Liza you can catch her sharing her best boarding tips on Dirtbag Darling where she serves as their snow ambassador or follow her on Instagram @LizaTags.

    A Toast to you and Liza too,

    Jen

  • Finding Your Career Passion

    Finding Your Career Passion

    Simple Steps to Get into a Job You Love

    career passion

    Tomorrow marks the 21st annual Bring Your Daughter (& Son) to Work Day. The program was founded as a way to introduce young girls to the many career opportunities that they could aspire to take on.  By providing exposure to the world the adults lived in, it became a way to get girls to dream big and believe that they could be anything they wanted to be- doctors, lawyers, CEOs you name it!

    This yearly American tradition got us to wonder, how many of us end up becoming “what we want to be when we grow up” and how did we ultimately get where we are? Was it by following in the footsteps of our parents? More importantly, if we haven’t yet found our way, how we do get back on track of pursuing our career passion?

    Personally, I always wanted to grow up to become a famous actress. I took dance, voice, and acting lessons all in the hopes of growing the talent needed to master this pursuit. What did I ultimately become? A brand manager and marketer. Not exactly the same. While I didn’t follow the career paths of either my mom or dad (nurse and consultant respectively) I did pick up their practicality for a stable and traditional career. What I’ve learned since leaving my job last November is that my desire to become the next Oscar wielding first lady really boils down to a need for a creative outlet. This is where The Single Diaries came into play. By following other bloggers I stumbled upon a new career pursuit and passion.
