Episode notes

In another life, i could have been a very effective executive recruiter. I love networking, and it's always been something that i think i've not been afraid of. Organizing my digital life requires a lot of effort to keep my melon box from like, exploding. But i do think it's a weakness that i just continually am trying to be more mindful of how to be a more organized person.
