Ricot Aladin sits down with longtime radio professional Geoff Thaden (aka JT) to unpack the power of mentorship, faith, and self-accountability in building a fulfilling career. From late-night radio shifts to leadership in broadcasting, JT opens up about lessons learned along the way—what he wishes he’d told his younger self, the mentors who shaped his path, and how he strives to bring authenticity and purpose to both work and home.
Together, Ricot and JT explore how young professionals can make the most out of college, why taking a “gap year” can be a smart move, and the overlooked privilege of being a student. Their candid discussion touches on the importance of curiosity, networking, humility, and the courage to ask, “Can you teach me that?”
