This week's guest Ray Vicks  was the first in his big family (12 kids!) to attend college.  Having landed a solid job with Arthur Andersen right out of school, Ray spent his first years "learning how to xerox" before buckling down and moving up the ranks. Hear how his biggest professional disappointment led to his eventual ascendancy to partnership in a competing firm and eventually the role of Chief Financial Officer for a healthcare company. You don't achieve all of this without accumulating a full suitcase of life lessons, and Ray unpacks them all in this story-rich episode. Settle in, take a few notes, and let Ray's lessons shape your career path.
