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.
