Making the Connection: Genuine Professional Relationships
Collaboration, Creating Synergy, & Dropping the Ego with Michelle Westfall
On this episode of Making the Connection, I chat with Michelle Westfall, broadcast journalist turned podcast producer and the creative force behind Universal Orlando’s official podcast.
Michelle shares her journey from doing morning announcements as a kid to producing large-scale podcasts with major entertainment teams—and how staying authentic, dropping ego, and trusting your gut has shaped her career.
We also dive into:
- How to make authentic professional connections without feeling transactional
- Behind-the-scenes stories of launching and producing Universal Orlando’s podcast
- The power of empathy, compromise, and trust in building synergy across large teams
- Navigating challenges in corporate environments while staying true to yourself
- Lessons from mentorship and experiences that propel your career forward
