Episode notes

Instead of accepting an internship that forces you to do things that are not allined with where you want to go, what have you created your own internship? You're basically creating your own game. And it's a game of one, so it makes it much, much easier for you to win. "It's far, far more valuable to see your thaw process here than to try to read about it on a resume," he says.
