Experience
I often draw knowledge and wisdom from the careers and jobs I had prior to academia. These include being a captain in the Air Force, the director of ministries at a church, and jobs in radio, television news, and satellite television. Fun fact: my first jobs after graduating from college were pumping gas by day and being a radio DJ by night.
