Last month, renowned director Spike Lee joined LinkedIn Editor-in-Chief Daniel Roth for a candid conversation on the set of LinkedIn's Talent Connect event in New York City. In this episode, Dan and Nina highlight takeaways from that conversation and share their own thoughts. They discuss barriers to entry in higher education, the role of ambition in crafting a successful career, and the power parents have to make (or more often break) their children's dreams.
