In our second episode, I interview Megan Arend who is easily one of the most talented people I’ve worked with. Megan is currently a Senior Product Manager at Nautilus Labs where she participates in their mission to advance the efficiency of ocean commerce.

In our discussion, Megan and I cover a lot of ground and she offers great career advice around:

·     How to advocate for yourself by asking for what you want

·     The importance of taking career chances even when it’s scary

·     The significance of persistence, but also knowing when to walk away.

·     Doing more with less.

·     The burden of leadership.

·     The importance of empathy in your career

·     Her morning routine and how to get your brain firing on all cylinders before work

·     Her answer to an important question most tech companies care about

And much, much more.
