Episode notes

If you can focus and somebody in high school or college is thinking about what to do with their career, can have a successful career or to have a life they can be proud of. I'd say probably the most important advice that I would give is to find a way to give value to other people. This is really the key thing. You need to wake up every morning and figure out how to serve others. Everything that you want is on the other side of you serving others. Go out there and do things for other people and the market will tell you exactly.
