The Title Doesn’t Matter
The Title Doesn’t Matter is an interview format podcast exploring the lived experience behind the label. Each week, I talk with people across industries and career stages — from entrepreneurship to education and everywhere in between — about what their work actually looks like: the parts that don’t make it into a résumé or bio.
From startup founders and classroom teachers to corporate leaders and creatives, my guests and I unpack unexpected career pivots, hidden responsibilities, quiet doubts, and defining breakthroughs. This podcast dives into the nuance and intricacies that titles can’t capture — the growth, the ambiguity, the lessons learned, and the identity we build beyond a line on a business card.
Because at the end of the day, always remember, the title doesn't matter; you do.

Bo Dunn seems to have found his niche as Operations Manager for a fuel supply company in Middle Georgia. Robco Fuels services commercial, retail, and government entities across Georgia, and Bo helps coordinate all of it.
We talk about what it takes to keep things running behind the scenes — coordinating logistics, managing people, solving problems in real time, and making sure supply meets demand.
Bo shares how he got into operations, what leadership looks like in a fast-moving industry, and how he handles the responsibility of overseeing systems that people rely on every day. Bo's tales of the cross-country adventures that led him here serve as a great reminder that the title is just one part of the story.
