The Importance of Hard Work and Passion

On this last episode of Season 1, Ryan talks with his most controversial hire at LinkedIn: Editor-In-Chief & VP Dan Roth. Dan started his career as a business journalist, writing for magazines like Forbes, Fortune and Wired. But when the 2009 financial crisis hit print journalism, Dan had to pivot. Ryan and Dan talk about finding your place in a changing industry, the value of mentorship, and leaning on feedback from friends and family. Then, Dan turns the tables on Ryan to ask him about decision making as a leader, how to choose between advice and your gut, and the biggest takeaways from this season of The Path.
