Highlights
05:13 – You have to make sure that you can multitask in your career that doesn't just focus on one thing. Make sure that you`re open to new opportunities when they present themselves.
06:36 – What do you stand for? What`s your personal narrative and how do you present it to people? I`d like to think that my brand is open, straight forward, exploratory. It's the essence of who I am.
11:20 – Number one is to know who you are. If you stand for everything, you`ll fall for anything. You have to know who you are and what you love to do.
17:50 – Be nice. I know that sounds simple but it's really important. You can`t be mean to people. You can`t gossip and be dishonest with people.
18:24 – Never take no from a person who can't say yes.
