S1E6 - Kathryn McBride - JJ and KMay

JJ and KMAY, 1992-93

JJ and KMAY, 1992-93

Today’s guest is Kathryn McBride, aka KMay. A picture of the two of us together in our senior year of high school is above, but we’ve known each other since seventh grade. While we don’t get too nostalgic, we do wax poetic about Sr. Olla and her infamous LOTTD (see my current LOTTD system below… on a bunch of sticky notes! So old fashion!).

Kathryn McBride lives in Los Angeles, CA with her husband, Matthew, and their daughters, Ava (12) and Maren (9).  She owns her own executive recruiting firm and counts on spreadsheets to keep her on-task while managing the chaos of running a small business and a household of four at the same time!

Today’s featured guest is Emily Popek. We talk about PDFs and the horrible mysteries they can contain, formatting spreadsheets to the point they are unusable, Airtable, and so much more. Also, I mentioned the spreadsheet I won’t share with anyone and how spreadsheets can be good for anxiety… and not… ENJOY!

Emily F. Popek is a school communications specialist and freelance writer who lives in upstate New York with her family.

S1E3 - Emily and Adam Hosey - "Prenups and Weddings and Spreadsheets, Oh My!"

AH EH Screen Shot 2020-09-03 at 8.02.17 PM.png

I had a blast talking to Adam and Emily about all things spreadsheet related and more!

Emily Hosey is a Senior Account Manager at Godfrey Advertising in downtown Lancaster, PA. In her spare time of chasing her two young boys and husband, she's dreaming of baking, crafting, and gardening.

Adam Hosey is an abolitionist educator, Philly nationalist, and sandwich connoisseur.

Adam uses spreadsheets in his humanities classes and for his fantasy football drafts. Emily uses spreadsheets for … EVERYTHING! Although Adam and I know each other from the Lancaster Antiracist community, this was my first time talking with Emily. It was really delightful to meet someone who shares my particular brand of spreadsheet love - we even have the same favorite function. Listen up to hear what it is!
