We recently connected with Nicky Wangsgard and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Nicky, thanks for joining us today. We’d love to hear about the things you feel your parents did right and how those things have impacted your career and life.

My parents supported my goals and aspirations even if they had to borrow money to make it happen.

Nicky, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I am a mother, father, full professor, drag artist, pole dancer, hall of fame athlete, and story teller when I’m on stage.

If you could go back, would you choose the same profession, specialty, etc.?

Yes, I am a professor of special education. I decided to work with students with disabilities because typical people scared the shit out of me. They were judgemental, very white privileged, Mormon, and constantly telling me what I was suppose to look like, act, etc. Student’s with special needs were happy to see me regardless of anything. I decided to dive deep into the world of disabilities and focusing on helping the people who are different and honest. We need more unconditional love in this world.

Putting training and knowledge aside, what else do you think really matters in terms of succeeding in your field?

Listen more, talk less, be on time, and kill them with kindness.
