Episode 108 of The People's Podcast is here and the 2020 Season Officially continues and this week's guest has an incredible story: Stephanie Humphrey. You’ve likely seen her on Good Morning America, QVC, locally in Philadelphia on Fox 29, or on her "60-Second Tech Breaks" but there’s so much more to her.
The Pittsburgh native is a former engineer at Lockheed Martin turned tech expert whose story of transition into the media world is one to behold.
Steph joins the Pod (Starts around the 9:00 mark) to talk about her incredible journey in this super-sized episode including:
• Growing up in Pittsburgh with dreams of going to MIT
• How she dissed a phone call from Florida A&M's President
• Her life in a windowless office at Lockheed Martin
• When she was initially rejected by Penn's Masters Program
• The meeting with an executive that led to an "epiphany"
• The tough grind of getting into media after leaving Lockheed
• Breaking through in local TV and eventually on QVC
• How she landed on Good Morning America
• Why she developed "Til Death Do U Tweet"
• Taking on the scourge of Cyber Bullying
We also would like to make a special s/o to Laura DiFrancesco (Episode 107) for allowing us to record this at her wonderful co-working space, Flourish in West Chester, PA.
