ISPA HEADQUARTERS TEAM
THIS MONTH WE ASKED : “ If you had to start a podcast or blog about a non-work-related topic , what subject could you jump right into without any preparation ?”
Lynne McNees • President lynne . mcnees @ ispastaff . com • 1.859.226.4260 “ I am not necessarily a podcast or blog follower so this is tough . I love a good reality show for the group dynamics and feel I could talk easily about the do ’ s and don ’ t around that ! If not , there is always cooking and gardening !”
Stacie McWilliams • Membership Manager stacie . mcwilliams @ ispastaff . com • 1.859.226.4292 “ I love sharing Disney fun facts , helpful tips , and tricks with people who are visiting the theme parks but aren ’ t very familiar with them . I can tell you where to hunt for hidden Mickeys and all the best food spots !”
Crystal Ducker • Vice President crystal . ducker @ ispastaff . com • 1.859.226.4427 “ As a golf enthusiast , it would have to be a golf podcast covering PGA tournament odds and picks for the week ahead . I could chat about golf stats and predictions all day long .”
Jessica Roberts • Marketing Specialist jessica . roberts @ ispastaff . com • 1.859.425.5072 “ I could talk all things coffee for hours ! From brewing techniques to flavor profiles , I could teach everybody ( who enjoys a good cup of joe ) to make their favorite drinks from home .”
Emily Eckler • Expo & Fulfillment Manager emily . eckler @ ispastaff . com • 1.859.687.7013 “ If I had a podcast , it would be a called “ With love , from Kentucky .” Imagine sitting on the porch with your grandma as she shares the secret ingredients to a happy life and her special recipes . We would talk about kneading out , sweetening up , and sprinkling in extra love for the hard seasons and pressing on .”
Samantha Smith • Project Manager samantha . smith @ ispastaff . com • 1.859.219.3619 “ My podcast would be all about resourceful decorating — using what you have or thrifted items to make a beautiful space that is unique and personal . I love decorating and am constantly re-styling my home with things I already have to make my spaces feel fresh and new .”
Amy Finder • Graphic Designer amy . finder @ ispastaff . com • 1.859.963.1877 “ I would love to dig into the world of creativity . It brings me great pleasure to help others rediscover and develop their creative self .”
Scot T . Gillies • Executive Editor scot . gillies @ ispastaff . com • 1.859.226.4372 “ Book collecting : It would be fun to interview bibliophiles for a blog or podcast about locating hard-to-find books .

Alexandra Harper • Director of Education alexandra . harper @ ispastaff . com • 1.859.359.8010 “ I could talk non-stop about my dog but people may not want to hear about that on a podcast . I could totally do a blog of her everyday life , she does have her own Instagram account , and her own hashtag # adventureswithlilly ! I always thought it would be fun to have a children ’ s book written about her .”
Nelson Lane • Senior Marketing Manager nelson . lane @ ispastaff . com • 1.859.551.3906 “ My podcast would be a mixture of discussion around music , MMA and critiques of social trends . But the highlight of my show would be a segment on my favorite memes of the week !”
Marja Walker • Graphic Designer marja . walker @ ispastaff . com • 1.520.891.3439 “ I would name my podcast ‘ CreateSparkBoom ,’ when people ask me what my job is , most say something like ‘ Oh , I can ’ t even draw a straight line .’ This is where the Spark and Boom come in , let ’ s have a conversation about what you do that is creative , everyone is an artist in their own way , everyone creates . I want to find out what that is .”
Kirsten Wright • Business Development Manager kirsten . wright @ ispastaff . com • 1.859.226.4207 Kirsten “ At this moment in time , my podcast would be focused on wedding planning !
