Interview with Mark Herschberg, Author of “The Career Toolkit”

Mark is the author of “The Career Toolkit, Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You.” Educated at MIT, Mark has spent his career launching and fixing new ventures at startups, Fortune 500s, and academia. He’s developed new software languages, online marketplaces, new authentication systems, and tracked criminals and terrorists on the dark web. Mark helped create the Undergraduate Practice Opportunities Program, MIT’s “Career Success Accelerator”, where he’s taught for twenty years. Mark also serves on the boards of non-profits Techie Youth and Plant a Million Corals.

This is an excellent episode. Mark and I dive into topics related to leadership development, ethics, and the mindset of successful people. We talk about his book, his app that was built to compliment his book, the program curriculum at MIT that he helped develop and what it entails. He tells me about three of his most successful students and some of the qualities that they all seemed to have in common.
