Cynthia Brian interviews Steven Zhou, PhD, with his book, From First Job to Career, which blends real-life first-job stories with expert insights from vocational psychology. This engaging guide helps readers navigate the complex, non-linear world of modern work, offering inspiration, research, and practical tools to build a meaningful career path. Steven was the first radio host of Express Yourself!™and helped shape the early vision of the program in 2011, and even wrote and played the guitar for the iconic theme music you hear at the beginning of every show! Fast forward to today, and Steven has taken that same spirit of creativity, leadership, and impact into everything he does.
