About this episode

This episode of the podcast is from a talk I gave at JP Morgan Chase's Next Gen Conference. Next Gen focuses on leadership & career development for early career professionals. One of the biggest take aways from this episode that might resonate with many of you is about taking a traditional career path and not hating your job. People tend to "over-judge" themselves nowadays for taking a more traditional route because now that entrepreneurship is "cool". We cannot ask a giraffe to be a penguin so please don't try to start a business just because it's the "thing", and this ties into how everything relates into self-awareness, either in personal life and business life. Hope you enjoy this insightful episode.
