Today we’d like to introduce you to Brandon Bougard and Dr. Adriene Hobdy. Them and their team share their story with us below:
Brandon and Dr. Adriene are two long-time friends who met at the Xavier University of Louisiana.
Both thriving in their respective careers, Brandon and Dr. Adriene are committed to helping young professionals thrive, and out of this desire, the Scratching & Thriving Podcast was birthed.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Too many to count, but for every obstacle and challenge, there have been plenty of blessings and opportunities. Perspective is everything.
Scratching & Thriving Podcasts started to help people overcome some personal and professional opportunities that some were experiencing during the pandemic.
Brandon and Dr. Adriene both work in fields that were immediately impacted by the pandemic, in some regards, even before fully understanding what was happening.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
Our work is a collection of personal and professional experiences.
