Christopher Krummer, who works in mergers, acquisition and alliances, told Moneyish that one of the firms he once worked for had a CEO with the same name as a foreign confectionery company (he declined to share the name of his old boss or the candy.) “So I picked up a box of sweets at the airport and sent them to his office,” Krummer said. She gave me her card and told me to contact her assistant to follow up!” This led to an internship, and a career at Yale New Haven Health for more than 10 years.

“She excitedly shared that she was an alumna and asked how she could help me. “When it was my turn, I told her how inspired I was to meet her in person that I was a student at the Yale School of Public Health and that I aspired to achieve what she had,” Calder recalled. He got her the invite, but Calder would have to introduce herself on her own - so she waited in line to meet her role model after the speaking portion of the program.

While waiting for her flight, Wolfson ordered pizzas for herself and the people waiting at her gate due to the lack of food options. Once such trip came last fall, when Wolfson was in town for the Chiefs' regular-season victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Those visits have included frequent trips to the old terminals at Kansas City International Airport. Thanks to the ongoing success of the Kansas City Chiefs, CBS Sports NFL reporter Tracy Wolfson has spent a fair share of time in Kansas City.
