Show Notes

  • Getting Into Marketing (02:18)
    I have a degree in existential philosophy and what I have found very early is that the track to the professional world is very narrow with that degree. Some of the things I was doing outside of University included running a music venue and without even realizing, I was doing marketing in that role. Later on, when I was being interviewed for jobs, people who were interviewing me wanted to focus on that part of my experience.
