In this episode of the podcast I talk to Steve Kahan. Steve is the author of Be a Startup Superstar and he’s the CMO at Thycotic, a fast growing cybersecurity startup. 

We talk about why every college student should consider starting their career with a startup. We dive into why this is a great path for many people, how to find startups near you, and we even discuss what questions you should ask during the interview.
