Ep. 63: Defining square peg into a round hole feat. Matthew S. Kressy

"We observed that skills can be taught, but character is something which is very difficult to change" says Matthew S. Kressy.

In this week's episode of #AbsolutelyWrite, host Aditi Surana is joined by Matthew S. Kressy, founding director of the MIT Integrated Design & Management (IDM). As an entrepreneur and founder of Designturn, he has designed, invented, engineered, and manufactured products for startups, Fortune 500 companies, and everything in between.

Aditi and Matthew talk about his journey and challenges.
