Summary

In this first episode of the newest installment of Thanks for Asking, Nora hears from three callers who explain what they actually do all day at work. And even though they’re wildly different – a regenerative agriculture performance and data reporting manager, an oncology nurse working with phase one clinical trials for cancer patients, and someone who works at a yarn store – each one brings a unique and interesting story.
