Episode #9! 

In this episode, Drew and James talk about some things they've learned in their young professional careers, including how to do cold outreach to expand your network and opportunities, specializing vs. generalizing and the art of being a "specialized generalist", the importance of communication and expectation setting, how to layer your skills to create a unique competitive edge, why "follow your passion" might be bad career advice, and more. 

We took a much more focused approach in this episode, and as a result, there was a lot more research that went into it. We've decided to make that research available as show notes. We can't include the full show notes here, so if you'd like to receive them, please subscribe to our newsletter here.
