In this episode, we enter the realm of the Casino industry. Quillan is a Casino Auditor for a big casino here in Arizona. It's very true that emotions are a powerful driving force in our lives, capable of both hindering and propelling us towards our goals. We take a look at how emotions can influence our journey faced with adversity. Quillan's story highlights a critical, often overlooked aspect of academic success: the impact of emotional well-being. Even with a stellar 4.6 GPA and a full-ride scholarship, personal hardships can significantly erode self-image and confidence, ultimately derailing academic achievements. Having to leave NAU and start fresh again, the power of positive emotions fueled by an amazing support system, reflection of self-worth, and personal ambition, drives Quillan to find his way again. Quillan talks about how his renewed sense of purpose and drive led him to the jobs that he found after NAU and ultimately how it led him to his current job. He covers how his role plays a part in the day to day functions of the casino realm and how you as a listener, if interested, can get your foot in the door should you want to pursue a job in this industry. Meet Quillan Smith: a numbers-driven financial professional working as a Casino Auditor, who also happens to be an amateur dad-jokes comedian, a die-hard hockey enthusiast, and a formidable Pai Gow player. His diverse passions make him truly unique.How to connect: Instagram: fuzzy_tendy
