Behind the Podcast: Using a Gap Year to Achieve Non-Traditional Goals
We are excited to share a series of podcasts with you about the different paths that youths can take when transitioning to adulthood. These episodes were recorded by seven youths who interviewed peers and adults alike on their various experiences. Check out this episode with Allie and let us know what you think!

In this episode, Allie discusses taking a gap year, the college process, and starting a career one is passionate about. She talks about themes that are popular nowadays like starting a career from YouTube, or using makeup as a tool for empowerment and business. Though Allie loves listening to podcasts, she had never recorded her own before. She wanted to discuss her passions, "because one of my interests is business, and I wanted to create a resource for young women who are aspiring entrepreneurs." She hopes listeners engage with her message and believes "that listening to the stories of other women in business helps young women gain perspective in the field."
