So What’s Next? A Monthly Podcast

By Andrew McGee ’19

COVID-19 has impacted the entire Saint John’s University community in profound ways. In many cases, our livelihoods have turned upside down as we have searched for ways to reestablish meaning and purpose through communication, work, persistence and copious amounts of banana bread and Netflix.

Navigating our futures and determining how to define success in the new normal have emerged prominently across our society. The resulting uncertainty and lack of reassuring conversations from those we trust created the idea of So, What’s Next?

So, What’s Next? is a monthly podcast focused on helping recent and upcoming SJU/CSB graduates navigate their futures. By delving into the stories of professionals who have succeeded in their endeavors, So, What’s Next? seeks to define what work will look like and how it will change for Johnnies and Bennies, based on their experiences of the past and navigation of uncertain times. This podcast will provide another avenue to share success in both life and work of Johnnies and Bennies, as well as provide guidance, insight and ideas to those who are seeking their own definition of success in work and a holistic life.
