We’re back for round two! In this episode, we talk about ambition – how we define it, whether it’s different from hard work, avoiding burnout, and how your ambition may evolve as you do. We also revisit times when we’ve been told to tone down our ambition. Exhibit A: The professor who advised women not to appear too ambitious in job interviews. Exhibit B: The employer who criticized employees “who always asked for more.” Plus, honorable mentions about Kim Kardashian, vampires, and geometry (lol).
