On this episode of Self-Directed, we discuss Mitchell's career journey – from over-achieving high-school with a life-plan to an early startup employee at college. We discuss some of the bumps and bruises collected along the way as a college student, the first few years in the real world, and how he accelerated his career working directly for the CEO of an early-stage company years later.
Lessons for this episode:
-The pressure of feeling like you have to have it all figured out
-How incentives are different in school and business
-How colleges don't actually treat students like customers
-How to approach your first jobs out of college (if you still don't know what you want to do)
-How to determine when it's time to leave and move on
-When to change course and how
-How to approach your career like an early-stage business and iteration cycles for testing different careers
