Community - The Life and Career of Writer, Producer, and Journalist, Justin Salhani
Manage episode 329560091 series 2536230
This week, our final guest of season 1, Justin Salhani, chats with Jordan Rizzieri about his life and career.
Right from the start, Justin has Jordan wondering why some kids want to be certain things when they grow up, even if that thing doesn't align with their values as adults (1:46). He also shared how growing up in the D.C. area in the early 90's influenced his ideas of what "work" was (5:34), and how his parents shaped him both personally and professionally.
Justin touches on his relationship with learning (13:37) before Jordan goes on a diatribe about Community College in the U.S. (15:36). Justin explains the Arabic word "wasta", and how he ended up in Beirut after college (23:28) and why he was there long after his first job contract had ended (26:29).
Eventually, Justin returned to D.C. and started exploring his passion for journalism, though the roles he took weren't as satisfying as he'd hope (36:01). But D.C. also brought him back to his first love - football (41:12). Justin and Jordan come back to the idea of community, as he discusses his current projects and the people who support him every day (50:39).
Finally, Justin sums up his takeaways from his career so far - and they also nicely sum up this season, too. (53:18).
Many thanks to him, Stu, Rachel, Diane, Matt and Gia for sharing their stories this season!
