My dad works in B2B marketing, but I never really knew what that meant.
Then one day my dad came by my school for career day, and told everyone in my class he was a big MQL man.
Then he just kept saying things like, The more MQLs the better, over and over.
My friends still laugh at me to this day.
I think it means marketing -qualified lead?
One thing's for sure, I'll be known as the MQL man's kid for the rest of my days.
Why can't you just be a fireman?
Or a lawyer? Why? You ruined my life dad.

Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio.
Good morning. This is Laura.
Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.
Today's tip is a reminder to be ready to block out the world.
When we are out and about, we can't always control the noises that other people make.
But you can often control your own sound environment.
And that can make a huge difference in your ability to focus, relax, or sleep.
I was recently on a flight where someone's headphones either weren't working or they weren't using them.
I'm not quite sure what, but they were playing some sort of electronic game that made annoying and sporadic clicking sounds.
The noise would have made it quite hard to concentrate if I hadn't had headphones.
But, fortunately, I did, as did most of the people around me.
As a result, no one exploded over the situation.
I listened to some relaxing music and got my work done, just as planned.
Similarly, that night at my hotel, I wound up being put in a room right across from the elevator and the ice maker.
There were quite a few loud conversations right outside my door about, hey, do you think this ice maker works before people bid goodbye to each other at the elevators?
This wouldn't have boded well for my sleep.
But I have a lovely white noise app on my phone, and I travel with Mac's pillow -soft earplugs.
Between the two, I heard almost nothing.
I slept quite well despite the elevator, the ice maker, and the fact that my room was right over a busy road.
It was a good reminder to me of why I am equipped to block out the world, whenever I am out in the world, and why you should remember to do so, too.
If you bring a backpack or a purse around, it's quite easy to stick some earplugs in there, and then you won't be caught without them.
I know a lot of people already travel with their headphones or earbuds, but if you don't, get a pair and stick them in.
And consider trying out some of the white noise apps, too, for when you travel.
Yes, you can find free YouTube videos of white noise, but you always risk that you will get interrupted by an ad or something like that.
That might be even worse than the ice maker.
I've even occasionally had to use all of this at my own house.
Sometimes, when there is a storm, the wind will make branches hit against my window, and this sporadic sound can make it as hard to sleep as an elevator constantly opening and shutting.
So I turn on the white noise, put in the earplugs, and block it all out.
Some people sleep soundly.
Some people can work even with annoying ambient noise.
I am not one of those people.
But it's okay. When you bring your own sound and an ability to block out the world, you can sleep a little better or work a little better, and that makes life feel a lot better.
In the meantime, this is Laura.
