I am your host, Cassy Joy Garcia, and I’m really excited to be back today with another listener reverse interview. These listener reverse interviews are such a treat for me. It’s when a Fed and Fit listener, or reader, writes in and asks a really good question via email. And instead of politely obliging them with an answer via email, I ask them if they’ll come on my podcast {laughs}. Normally, a lot of them are sweet enough to indulge me. So today we are chatting with one such person, her name is Jonnie. And she lives in New Orleans, Louisiana. A really neat town, and she works in fundraising for a community hospital there.<br> <br> Jonnie, so the way that these shows work is I’m going to pass the baton off over to her. It’s her show to ask me questions. I know that what we’re going to talk about is going to be of benefit to a lot of folks. So I’m really excited about it. Welcome to the show!<br> <br> Jonnie: Hi, thank you so much for having me. I’m excited.<br> <br> Cassy Joy: Yeah, I'm excited. The pleasure and the treat is mine. Well, tell us a little bit about yourself and then we can get to maybe some of your questions.<br> <br> Jonnie: Yeah, of course. I am based here in New Orleans, and I love it. I’ve been here for about 9 years. I’m originally from Arkansas. A really small town there. And I love everything about New Orleans. It’s people, it’s food, it’s atmosphere. And I do local fundraising here for a nonprofit hospital.<br> <br> Cassy Joy: Awesome. That sounds like such a fun, rewarding job. But I have to tell you; as soon as you said fundraising earlier before we started recording; I don’t know why this has stuck with me for however long it’s been since I was a sophomore in high school. I don’t want to do the math. {laughs}<br> <br> Jonnie: {laughs}<br> <br> Cassy Joy: But I had a Latin teacher who said “it’s fun-duh-raising!”<br> <br> Jonnie: {laughing}<br> <br> Cassy Joy: So it has nothing to do with the podcast, but that has stuck with me. And I just admire that job. I worked with PBS when I was growing up, and with the Girl Scouts. So it’s just such a neat thing that you do. That’s really cool.<br> <br> Jonnie: Thank you. I really love it. It is very rewarding, as you said.<br> <br> Cassy Joy: That’s wonderful. Well tell us a little bit about yourself, and maybe how that kind of plays into some of the questions y...
