We end off this season with an awkward and surprising chat with Avery about what's happening with the show, where this podcast is going and what to expect in Season 2.

From YouTube to podcasts and photography to social media, everything Gajan Balan touches moves him one step closer to media mogul status. As a content creator and social media manager for one of Canada's most well-known retailers he spends the workday creating new content to engage with creators, and then he goes home and creates his own content to do exactly the same thing.

She moved to Hollywood with zero connections to make it big in graphic design, and now she helps aspiring actors and crew members do exactly the same thing.

After staying home to raise her three daughters, former Kindergarten teacher Sheryl Puckering struck out on her own with a mission of teaching kids to live a joyful life through yoga, mindfulness and wellness.

Getting in the mind of a mouse and unleashing a bed bug sniffing dog are two normal parts of Steve Meulemeester’s day. As a pest control expert, you can guarantee he’s seen it all -- if it crawls.

To Sarah Graham, saving lives is a normal part of her job -- but seeing people only on their worst days is something she takes very seriously. With a positive attitude and a serious love for her work, this 5’2”, 125-pound paramedic is stronger than most people you know.

Making people laugh is Chris Carrow's full-time job. From accidental busking and a traveling clown caravan, to forming a duo with his wife -- he gives us a peek behind the red nose.

Tom Brain quit his job as a police officer to open a boutique mushroom farm from his backyard in Christchurch, New Zealand. Now, growing mushrooms is his full-time gig.

Chasing down politicians, traveling around the world and telling people's stories are some of the things The Globe and Mail's Kristy Kirkup does best. But is the life of a political reporter as glamorous as you're imagining?

What's it like to be the first person a baby sees? Heather Taylor knows -- she's a midwife. Heather knew from a young age that she wanted to work in healthcare, but in midwifery she found a job she loves that gives her the flexibility to spend time with her own family. Let's bust some midwifery myths!

Voice over artist Derek Botten grew up as a gearhead, but when it came to choosing his career path he went in the opposite direction. After a long career in radio, Derek found himself in a place where he had to make a change -- and he made entrepreneur-flavoured lemonade from those lemons. Avery chats with Derek about going from a gregarious Monty Python mimicker to a business owner with a voice in the game.

As kids we were all asked the same question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”. The old standbys — doctor, vet, teacher, princess — often don’t end up coming to fruition. Or, sometimes they do! Grown Up features interviews with regular people on their journeys from little dreamers to grown ups with winding career paths. Welcome to the Grown Up podcast!
