Joshua Wiley is an army officer, educator, engineer, and outdoors enthusiast. Having attended the U.S. Military Academy at West Point from 2006-2010 as a cadet who was first nominated by Barack Obama, he has since leveraged time in company command, on deployments/rotations to Afghanistan, Romania, and South Korea, and in learning and research at Stanford to hone practical applications of leadership and scholarship to return to West Point. There, he is educating and inspiring the current generation of cadets as an instructor in Environmental Science and Engineering.

Episode 100 - Andrea Grujic

Andrea Grujic is a versatile creative who has explored skillsets in many different areas — writing, photography, videography, design, marketing, mixology but most importantly, her focus always remained on storytelling. This native Serbian is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Media Management at The New School in New York City.

During her undergraduate studies, she had to pick up a so-called “survival job” as a bartender which quickly pivoted into an unexpected career move. Some of the most humbling and rewarding mentions of her work can be seen in features on major food & beverage platforms such as Time Out, New York Magazine, Liquor.com, and Edible Queens.

Post-graduation, she plotted her roots at “The Highwater,” a tropical-inspired bar in Astoria, and experienced endless creative freedom. As a media manager and beverage director she worked closely with the owner on the marketing end of things to establish a brand and make his vision into a reality; from managing social media accounts and generating content, to web design and cocktail creation.

In this episode, Andrea talks about growing up in Serbia, developing a skills-based approach to education, and finding happiness in being at peace with oneself.
