This is a long overdue episode that we're able to publish now because Rahul has finally(!!) got his feet underneath him after being completely swamped his first semester of business school. More episodes coming soon.

Our amazing friend Allison Owen, who also happens to be Chief of Staff at BlackCloak - a cybersecurity tech company, joins Rahul to discuss some of the best gifts you can give yourself and loved ones, career advice for 20 somethings, how running a marathon just to beat her fathers time turned into loving marathons herself, why theres more to a Chief of Staff title than meets the eye, and why restaurants aren't all they're made out to be.
