At times, having a career in the parking industry can be a touch embarrassing. In this episode, Dani and John explore particularly awkward or mortifying moments in their careers when they’ve had to explain to people that, yes, they do actually work in the parking industry.
In this episode, your hosts Dani Crain and John D. Conway get into:
* Dani sometimes struggles to explain her job in parking to friends and family who don't fully understand it.
* John downplays his job in parking to avoid frustration from explaining it to uninterested listeners.
* What it’s like to be asked the dreaded question, “What do you do for a living?” And then having to say, “Oh, I’m in parking.”
* The evolution of some parking professionals who start off in their career being slightly ashamed of their job, then later in their career being proud of it.
* Dani struggles to explain exactly what she does to people who aren’t in the parking industry.
* Preferences for paid parking over free parking, citing convenience, safety, and supporting local businesses.
* Parking's role in urban planning and economic indicators.
