Trust The Process with Amonté | Ep. 135 - a podcast by Strengths not Strikes / Westwood One Podcast Network

This week listen in on my convo with Amonté, a third-year Ph.D. student studying Forestry Resource and Conservation at the University of Florida. Amonté shares a story unlike any other on the podcast, mostly because his original life plan didn’t include a career in academia, but football. But after getting his GED, a Bachelor’s in Agricultural Business and Economic Landscape and Design from Florida A&M, and a Master’s in Agricultural Education from Purdue, Amonté finds himself, by day, teaching and researching how to use school gardens for contextual learning. When he’s not in the classroom, Amonte is co-hosting his podcast, “The Process,” and raising his two kids with his lawyer wife. Power couple! Hello!

An important story about the cruciality of supporting your community, paying homage to those who came before you, and paving the way for those who will follow, Amonté gives us a history lesson and shows us how success is not a linear process.
