| 0:00.0 | Hello, hello! Welcome to Side Usals School. This is your host, Chris Gellibot. |
| 0:12.1 | So excited to welcome you here today, episode 1979. In fact, it's also known as |
| 0:17.6 | Throbac Thursday, where we take an in-depth look at someone whose story has evolved |
| 0:21.3 | since we first featured them. Now we have had all kinds of stories through this segment. |
| 0:25.7 | Last week we heard from a New Hampshire fabric artist. She's built a seamless business while |
| 0:30.8 | working a day job in IT. Today in our latest feature, we're going to hear from Kerry Olson, |
| 0:36.0 | who is now a full-time voiceover artist from Kansas City. We first featured her, well, I think she'll |
| 0:42.3 | mention it. I believe it was back on episode 923. And of course, a lot of stuff has happened since then. |

| 1:47.2 | was creating online content for training courses behind the scenes. So I was kind of doing on the |
| 1:53.6 | other side of the of the glass, so to speak, creating content. And through that got to narrate some |
| 1:59.5 | of my own online courses. And prior to that, my husband and I had been podcasting for years, |
| 2:04.8 | just doing different things. I had a podcast on Downton Abbey when that first came out. So I had |
| 2:09.0 | had a lot of experience behind the microphone, but didn't know that voiceover was a job or an |
