About this episode

Maci Jones and Mark Robinson discuss the challenges of post-graduation life, including job rejection and personal growth.

Graduation comes with a lot of pressure to have a plan, land the job, and feel confident about what’s next. But what happens when we’re faced with rejection and feeling alone? In this episode, I sit down with Mark Robinson, a sports journalist covering Colorado sports, to have the career conversation we all need. We talk about job rejection, self-doubt, and learning how to keep going when your path doesn’t look the way you thought it would. Mark shares how his high school experiences shaped his resilience, how college became a fresh start for independence and personal growth, and what post-grad life really feels like. From tips on making friends to breaking into the sports media world, we discuss everything you need to know about succeeding post-grad.
