Boston, what is one lesson that you have learned that has proven significant in your career?
I mentioned it earlier, but the rule of three has been the best thing for me. Everyone I've taught it to has found it to be incredibly valuable, especially in our careers.
We learn so much from different people about what to do and how to approach situations. It really applies to anything.
For example, if you ask your mom, your dad, and your brother how they would handle different situations, I'm sure they'd all approach them differently. You learn a lot by asking more people how to do something and then forming your own opinion.
