#25 - Marty Nemko - How to Do Life
The son of two Holocaust survivors who escaped to New York in the 1940s, Marty Nemko is an author, career specialist and education expert.
He has written over 3,000 articles on a wide range of subjects, for publications such as Time Magazine, The Atlantic and Psychology Today.
Marty's way of approaching the world is practical, but often unusual.
He shared plenty of wisdom, and some opinion (!), during this conversation.
He writes articles every day and you can find his YouTube videos by searching his name.
