  • Be Yourself: Mark Herschberg on Tech Career, Writing a Book, and Professional Vs. Personal Life

    In the second coming of Mark Hershberg to my podcast, I decided to stir the pot a bit: in addition to covering professional life in the US, career and leadership, networking and sales, of which Mark is obviously a maestro, I dug deeper and asked Mark about his early years in the 80th, the formation of the internet in the 90th, and how he has made a choice to connect his life to tech while it was not considered sexy at all. On top of that, we talked about dating and how it is somewhat similar to a professional life.
