This was our first recorded episode ever. Our guest was Albert Le, who works as a Financial Planning and Analysis Manager, and is a very dear friend of mine. He did us a huge favor by being our guinea pig for this podcast. To be honest, we likely need to have him back on again, as we ended up cutting a lot of material due to our inexperience with preparation and recording.

For anyone listening, who struggled with their studies in high school, and early college life – this is for you. Albert is one of those inspirational stories, who battled that early stigma of not pursuing a University degree. He took random college classes, for the sake of going to college, and picked up several odd jobs here and there. Many of which, in hindsight, turned out to be valuable experiences later in life, and would supplement his career.

We go through this, and part of his journey, from working at Best Buy, to deciding on applying to Accounting School, all the way to his current position as a Finance Manager. We discuss many of the roadblocks along the way – including overcoming his fear of Mathematics, his troubles as a first time young Manager, and the ego hit in seemingly taking a step back in his career.

A friendly reminder that we don’t always align in our views – but we are all made in common. So please, respect our guest & respect each other.
