My friend L. We had been friends for a few years by then but she had become a lot more successful than me, thiel fellow, YC founder etc. A few years ago I had a tough job at a shitty startup and had to find a job quickly. She put me on bookface and I ended up going thru all 5 rounds to be on YCs admissions team. Ultimately I didn’t get to join YC, but the clout from just landing an interview there gave me a lot of leverage for other jobs. So I got my dream job right after ✌️

Long story, but I got into a ton of schools but my family was poor, I couldn’t get scholarships, student loans, a legit job all bc of my status. A family friend lent me my full tuition for 4 years with zero interest. Without them, I would have never gone to uni or gotten to where I am now.

I’ve been fortunate enough to have several along the way. Chris the design agency CEO who let me sit in on client meetings with him as in intern. Piper who gave me a shot at designing Nike apps in my first year of work. More recently, Michael B who trusted me to take on his legacy and run with it in new ways. Side note: Where in Boulder were you working? I was born and raised in Boulder, did my design grad school in Boulder. Curious if David T might be a mutual connection.

My uncle who used to bring me along to work at events since I was ~14 Event production pros have insane work ethic, incredible resilience & overall lovely people Back to back 18-20 hour days, traveling up and down the country/across the world and mostly with a smile (and probably some form of stimulant πŸ˜‚) I ended up doing it for a few years while in college (mostly summer gigs and a couple of conferences in between) Definitely molded my work ethic & perspective on whats possible when a small room of people coordinate to make something big happen for 80k+ people

For me, it was Rachel. I had worked at a non-profit for a couple years and had no discernible technological skills, knowledge, or experience. She hired me anyway and that’s how I got into tech.

Amazing! I’m grateful for Ben, an Israeli immigrant who started a small schmatta business in the garment district in the mid-'90s, with a loan from a Jewish uncle in Palm Beach that got us all the funding, where I was his third employee. He was my mentor while I was in college, and I went on to work for him for eight years. During that time, we experienced tremendous growth, in part due to the strong synergy we had. I've always been thankful for his guidance, and I’m constantly looking to pay it forward by supporting up-and-coming professionals in creative fields, where having an 'in' or a mentor can be crucial to success.

AndrΓ© is/was his name. Brilliant creative, owned an agency in πŸ‡§πŸ‡· that'd bring interns from this school in Sweden (Hyper Island). We started working together and I asked questions. A few years later, while on an ascending career trajectory (had been promoted twice in a year), I quit and move abroad, to Sweden, to start that program. This path lead me to many challenges later, specially with visas, but it changed everything. Def where it all started and the main reason why it's been almost 8 years since I moved to Berlin.
