Work for a company that allows time away because they know you’ll be better for them in the long run. Innovation and longevity is not a grind. Work for a company who sees you, not only as an employee, an asset, or a resource. A company that understands that life goes on outside of the 4 walls. Work for a company who values family. Who knows you are irreplaceable at home in times of need. Work for a company who trusts you and provides flexibility. Trusts that you are going to give your all most days, and make up for the times when you can’t. On days where I have no child care, I’m thankful I can keep an eye on my kids from the comfort of my dining room table. Even if this means putting in the late hours to ensure I’m showing up for my family, my team, and my employer. I’m a better employee when I can care for my family during these irregular times. Summer camp will begin and my schedule will go back to normal. But for now, I’ll simply relish in gratitude.

Giving each generation — and, importantly, each individual — the opportunity to be seen, understood, valued, and leveraged in the workplace throughout the course of their career is essential for personal, social, and even societal well-being.

Earlier this week, the Foster Career Team partnered with Zillow on an incredible Employer Spotlight event.Two seasoned leaders and Foster MBA alums, Nate Moch (VP of Customer Engineering & Services), and Chris Bettin (Director of Product, Shopping), took the stage, co-leading the session with unmatched expertise. What made it even more special? They were former classmates from the TMMBA Class of 2009, bringing a nostalgic touch and special chemistry to the event.They delved into Zillow's future growth strategies, shining a spotlight on crucial areas like fraud detection, interactive floor plans, the AI-based Zestimate, the Housing Super App, and more.Both Nate and Chris boast a remarkable career journey, having been part of Zillow since its early days. Nate, in fact, was one of the first 50 employees and provided valuable perspective on the company's evolution from a scrappy start-up to the industry leader the company is today.A heartfelt shoutout to Nate and Chris for sharing their time, candid insights, and unwavering passion for Zillow's values. They truly "turned on the lights," as Zillow says, providing transparency for our student participants. Here's to forging connections and gaining wisdom from these industry trailblazers! #uwtmmba #uwfosterschoolofbusiness #uwfosterschool #uwfoster #fostermba #technology #techleaders #tmmba #zillow #employerspotlight #careermanagement

At just 16, brown-eyed & bushy-tailed, I did something no ordinary 16-year-old would do.I streamlined a process at a German Supermarket.You might be thinking, “Mark, what 16-year-old finds that exciting”?→ Well, I did, to say the least.Despite my young age, I was hooked on improving things.Picture this: 16-year-old Mark starts his first job in a supermarket But here's the kicker.This was the era where prices weren't just a simple scan away. Nope, we had to manually slap those price stickers on each item, one by one 🙃Now, you might think this was a tedious chore for a teenager to handle. ↳ But not me. From the get-go, I was on a mission to streamline the process.To find a way to make it all smoother, faster, and, dare I say it, fun!So, there I was, full of ambition.↳ Navigating the maze of incoming products. With precision (and a touch of creativity), I devised a system to tackle the mountain of merchandise efficiently. No more fumbling around or wasting precious time.It was all about getting those items priced, packed, and back on the shelves in record time.And just like that, what started as a summer gig turned into a crash course in streamlining and efficiency. Who knew that my first job at 16 could hold such valuable experience? For me, it was the beginning of a lifelong journey. A journey of finding smarter, faster, and more efficient ways to get the job done.Now, all those years later, I transform businesses from the inside out.Helping them grow, scale, and meet their goals.And I want to do something to help you.Soon, I’ll be releasing something to help businesses skyrocket their growth.You won’t want to miss it.
