feeling like, well, journalism was so meaningful and satisfying to him, but it wasn't the most financially lucrative job in the world. And so I think what he was getting at was he wanted me to find some financial stability. And this was also a time that journalism was undergoing really significant changes. So my dad became a journalist in in the 1970s, a heyday of journalism.

And think about kind of the Watergate scandal, Woodward and Bernstein, right? These kind of golden days of investigative journalism. And so when I was growing up in the, or when he was having these conversations with me in the early 2000s. This was a time that the internet was coming. People didn't really know how it was going to shape media. It was already starting to change media quite a bit.

And he saw that this was maybe not the most stable career path in the world. And so that was what he was trying to impart to me. But unfortunately, I loved it. I loved the experience of interviewing people, of starting out not knowing anything about a topic and a few having the excuse to call up people from all different kind of walks of life and to learn from them.

Fundamentally, that's the thing that has always really excited me and interested me about journalism is you just get to talk to the most interesting people and you get an excuse to do that. In high school, I was the editor of the paper, and that was really my passion. And then I ended up studying journalism in school and college and started out more traditionally in journalistic organizations.

So I worked at The Atlantic and Slate. But over time, I found myself interested in journalism and journalism. other subjects and wanting to navigate a career where I could use my journalism skills to explore, for instance, kind of policy and eventually behavioral science, which we'll talk about.

But I think I've really worked now at the intersection of science and storytelling, doing journalism and applied behavioral science research everywhere from these traditional media outlets to the think tank, New America, to the applied behavioral science firm, Ideas 42, and now in the tech world.

And I think maybe another way to wrap up this career path is by sharing some of the questions that have really motivated me throughout my career. So questions like, why do we humans do the strange things we do? How can we change our behavior to benefit ourselves and those around us and how through a deeper understanding of psychology can we all live more meaningful lives.

Journalism has really given me a lens through which to understand the world and ask questions and has guided me to some of these other passions that have now really informed where my career is at this moment.
