Hello, world. Welcome to discover your talent, do what you love. I'm your host, Don Hutchison. Every Tuesday, I interview someone from around the world who's discovered their talents to do work they love to create a life of success, satisfaction, and freedom.

On Fridays, I interview an individual with many years of experience from one of the most popular or interesting occupations or professions who shares an insider's look at what it's really like to do what they do.

I'm delighted to bring you our featured guest, Chris Cathcart.

Welcome, Chris.

Good morning.

It's a pleasure to have you on the show.

Chris, are you using your talents doing work that you love?

Yes, I am.

Good, good.

We want to hear that entire story.

Chris Cathcart joined the Consumer Specialty Products Association as its president in January of 2000, retiring in January of 2017.

During his tenure, he initiated product care, the industry's product stewardship program, and Alliance for Consumer Education.

From 1981 to 1999, Chris held leadership roles with other national trade associations

in the chemical manufacturing sector. He earned his BS from the United States Military Academy

at West Point, an MA from Central Michigan

University, and completed postgraduate work at George Washington University. Chris enjoys sailing

and motorcycling. Additionally, he's a pilot holding a commercial certificate with multi-engine

instrument and glider ratings. Well, it's an amazing journey, Chris.

Before we get into your backstory, take just a couple of minutes, please, and tell our listeners

around the world what you're engaged in now that has you excited and motivated.

Thanks very much, Don, for having me here.

I appreciate it so much and appreciate your interests.
