You'd be surprised who you could reach out to and actually just get a 15 minute brain date with them because people love to talk about their jobs and themselves. And then I would say try and get an apprenticeship doing one of those jobs.

if you're in college now's your time to experiment and even when you get out of college right it's not once you choose a career you have to stick with it the rest of your life but i would start to actually do a little bit more introspection before you just go out and look at a job a lot of kids i can just speak here in the states they fall into the trap of they look at the jobs that make the most money and

Yeah, maybe they'll make a lot of money, but they certainly, it might not be the right fit for them. They might not be happy. So I think doing a little bit more definition first, there's a lot of jobs that make a lot of money and they don't have to be banking or consulting or tech, by the way.

A couple things. I feel, hopefully, I think it's important as parents to be role models. We talk a lot about our career. We're proud of our career, my husband and I, and what we do. And I think that's important so they can understand the good, the bad, and the ugly of your day, right? So they don't just think that every job is great. They see the reality of it.

I also bring my kids along with me to my work. And they have traveled to many countries with me around the world to see me work, to see me speak, to see me do book signings, to see me do workshops. And it's really interesting to see. My daughter came with me once doing a speech at Google. They gave work to her and she says, work always like this? And I said, no.

She got a flavor for what work could be, what are different roles. And she met different people. So those are some of the things. I model it, I bring them with me, and I have them meet lots of different people. So they can get their own ideas of what's important to them. My daughter, I should say my son, he's in the business school and he is going into consulting.

That's what he wants to do and be an entrepreneur. And my daughter at school, she's a volunteer firefighter, and she was at the FBI this summer. So she's got a very different path for herself. And I think that's cool.

Count me in. I love that.

Oh, I'm so happy to be here. Thank you for having me. I know we're going to have a very interesting discussion, so let's do it.

My parents were entrepreneurs and that's right. Sure, I got the idea to go off on my own rather than working at an organization. And that, in fact, was the case. I got out of business school and I went into advertising because I was always a very creative person, but I was very good at business. Right. So I could write and I could really help the creatives out within the ad agency.
