My Takeaways

My takeaways from this conversation was

  1. Be Yourself: You can only be you. You might not be accepted at first, but eventually you’ll be accepted
  2. Pour yourself into a task: Build your craft and respect will follow
  3. Learn outside school: Engage with people and learn to meet their needs and tell stories.
