Everyday America
Remember when you used to be able to pick up “the other line” and listen in on private conversations? Yeah, it’s like that, but without the other line...and it’s totally legit! Everyday America is a podcast where you’ll get to listen in on your friends, neighbors and fellow Americans as they tell the personal stories that mean the most to them. As a producer I’ve spent my career telling stories. From TV pilots to news, from corporate executives to sports figures and celebrities, I have interviewed and told the stories of countless individuals. My name is Gregory King and I'm the host of Everyday America. Join me each week, and hear the personal stories of your neighbors, your friends, and your fellow Americans as you listen in on Everyday America. What's your story? New episodes every Thursday at 10am! Contact me at everydayamericapodcast@gmail.com.

Episode 22
Today’s American lives in Texas by way of Puerto Rico.
Shayla Rivera is a lady of many talents. She’s a rocket scientist and worked on the shuttle and space station programs with NASA. She’s a comedian, and I met her as the emcee of an awards show I produced a few years back. She’s also a professor and teaches at Texas A&M University.
You'll enjoy her humor and no-nonsense views on success and "being in charge" of your life.
A quote to watch for: “When you make someone laugh the gap between you and that person just gets narrower and narrower. If you laugh together then you realize you can be together.”
