What was your first dream job? Is it still a career path you are pursuing?

Special guest Marshall Hilaman joins Pete Newsome to share his inspiring story on how he achieved his dream job as a recent college graduate on this episode of finding career zen.

At a young age, Marshall dreamed of having a career in football. Even though his life threw him a few curveballs, Marshall never gave up on his goals. He first started playing college football at Southeastern University, but when it got too expensive, he transferred to a community college in his hometown, Tallahassee, FL. What would be next for Marshall? He wasn’t too sure how he would get there, but Marshall had his sights set on playing football for FSU.

Despite many rejections to FSU, he finally received an acceptance letter and the opportunity to try out for the FSU team. The defense coordinator was very impressed, but due to unforeseen circumstances, he didn’t make the team. Marshall created a list of goals and his own conditioning program to prepare himself for the next time an opportunity came. After a lot of hard work, faith, and patience, Marshall finally made the team!

Unfortunately, he faced some injuries that ended his football career. Or did it? 

Marshall’s faith got him through the tough times, as he trusted God to help lead the way. Luckily, opportunity presented itself again, but this time in Northern Arizona. What exactly was this opportunity? Tune in to find out!
