  • Another piece of advice for my younger self—you will have time to make these steps, you don’t have to achieve it all so quickly. And I also think grace. We work in a deadline industry and grace goes out the window a lot. Understandably, when there’s a countdown there’s not a lot of time for happy talk but the rest of the day there is and we always feel like we’re in a rush against deadline, but we don’t have to act that way. And I think grace goes a long way not just with your colleagues but also with your interview subjects to achieving better goals. Maybe not faster goals, but better goals.
