300: Lessons from Our Previous Jobs that Shaped Us
Have you ever wondered how the jobs you take along your journey prepare you for your greatest contributions in life? In this episode, Neil and I dive into the valuable lessons we’ve learned from every job we’ve ever had—yes, even the ones we didn’t love. Neil shares stories from his time in high-pressure medical device sales and the importance of staying authentic, building relationships, and learning to thrive under pressure. I opened up about my own path, from recruiting and office management to the moment I proved my perseverance to a CEO by waiting hours for a meeting. We also discuss how the skills we gain in these experiences, no matter how small they may seem, shape us into who we are today. I hope this episode inspires you to embrace every opportunity with humility, hard work, and a willingness to serve. Because, truly, the best lessons often come from the hardest moments.
