Transcription Manuel: Welcome, everybody, to another episode of Career Downloads. I have a very special guest today. So this is Janetta Dunbar, and I’m going to give you a quick introduction on her. So she is a wife, a mother, an athlete, an entrepreneur. She was a TV technical director, and she’s also an Army veteran. Apart from that, she was probably the first one that taught Beyonce how to break the internet. So with that, I have Janetta Dunbar. Janetta: Hi. Hey, Manny. Manuel: So I appreciate you. Janetta: Good to hang with you, man. Manuel: Yeah, it’s been a while. So we haven’t seen each other in person in a while. Janetta: Yeah, maybe a year or something. Manuel: It’s probably, yeah. Janetta: No, no, December. It was Christmas time. Manuel: Okay. Yeah. So it’s only been a few months. Janetta: Yeah. Manuel: It just feels like longer. Janetta: Yeah. Manuel: So I’m very excited to kind of have you on here and dig into your career, your background, skills that you’ve picked up. So I know some of them, but I’m sure they’re just like in the conversation we had probably about a week ago, I learned additional things that I didn’t know. So I’m pretty excited. So to start off, just kind of give me a general idea of kind of where you grew up. Janetta: Ah, I grew up in Texas. Yes. Fort Worth. So I was about 30 minutes from Dallas. Manuel: Okay. Janetta: So it was a medium-sized town, but the area I grew up, everybody kind of knew everybody. And the parents of the kids who went to the high school there, their grandparents went to high school there, that kind of thing, it’s kind of small town-y. Manuel: Small town-y. Janetta: Yeah. Manuel: Got it. And then eventually, obviously, you moved out of there and did keep up with the generational town. Janetta: Nah, no, no. Manuel: That’s not for you. Janetta: Well, you know, in my opinion, right, Texas people are special. They think Texas is everything. And so did I. I grew up that way. And I never thought I would leave, but then my dad got a job. He was a carpenter. Manuel: Okay. Janetta: And Texas is a right to work state and up here, there’s union in Vegas. There’s union. So when I was a freshman in college, I was at the University of North Texas. That summer, after my freshman year, my parents decided to move to Vegas.
