Brand the Interpreter

Joey Cofone is the Founder & CEO of Baronfig, an award-winning designer and entrepreneur, and author of #1 bestselling The Laws of Creativity. Joey strives to make work that appeals to curious minds—work that’s beautiful, smart, and communicative. He believes that design is the least of a designer’s worries, that story is at the heart of all tasks, and jumping off cliffs is the only way to grow.

In this episode Joey and I talk about:

• What's killing creativity

• The practice of ideas

• Connecting ideas to create

•  Self-imposed limitations

• Fear is normal

• The illusion of success

• And more!

**Please note that the  descriptions referred to in this program apply to certain groups within the Deaf community and are not meant to define the entire population at large.**

As a second-generation ASL interpreter, Sarah Baker passionately provides equal access for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing community. Being raised bilingual, she never thought about interpreting as her career; however, after completing a bachelor’s degree in English from Bob Jones University and completing a three-year interpreting internship at the university, she began freelance interpreting in South Carolina. 

Since achieving NIC certification from Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, she enjoys presenting workshops and mentoring interpreters both locally and nationwide. 

For the past ten years, Sarah has interpreted college lectures, platform presentations, medical procedures, job interviews & orientations, VRS, VRI, and theatrical productions, as well as several weddings and funerals. Her career highlights include interpreting for concerts on stage and televised presidential campaigns. Promoted to Interpreter Recruiter for a VRS company in 2017, Sarah interviewed dozens of ASL interpreters per week for staff interpreter and contract positions and traveled coast-to-coast representing her company at national and regional conferences. 

She has served two terms on the Board of Directors for South Carolina’s RID chapter; and in 2020, Sarah co-founded ASL OWL – a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization focused on mentorship & professional development – and began serving as their Board of Directors President. Authoring the well-known “Knock out the NIC” workshop series and providing 1:1 mentorship, Sarah has led 26 ASL interpreters to achieve national certification thus far. Presently, Sarah works for Akorbi as the Associate Director of ASL Services, leading Akorbi's *new* ASL interpreting department and managing hundreds of Akorbi ASL interpreters nationwide.

It's surreal to think that another season came and went for Brand the Interpreter. This season was filled with so many more amazing guests. I had the chance to speak with professionals of all stages in their interpreting journeys. I feel so honored and humbled that people have chosen this platform to share their story and that you, the audience, has welcomed it with open arms. 

To my amazement, the podcast continues to grow, spreading its message of interpreter stories across the globe. I get messages from people in places I never imagined would listen. We're out there, in small corners of the world, feeling like specs in such a big place, waiting to connect to a bigger network, to find deeper meaning, and as long as this podcast continues to connect us, I will continue to show up. 

I've put together a compilation of this year's stories for this season's episode finale. I hope you enjoy it.

I also hope you come back next year for an even bigger and better Brand the Interpreter Podcast.
