Been listening to this podcast for a few years now and always come back to it when I’m starting to feel like I’m in a rut. They do a great job with interviewing people with real-world challenges and are honest about what to expect.
Just bought the book since I’d like to have a hard copy to reference so I can outline what’s really important for my career path.
Amazing show!
