Transcript
What is one lesson that you have learned that has proven significant in your career?
I think one lesson, or maybe it's more of a skill I've learned over my career, has been kind of just pushing until something works out. It's about persevering until a situation resolves itself.
This is especially true when you're working in ambiguous situations where you don't really know how to get from point A to point B. Sometimes, all you can do is keep making incremental steps. Eventually, things will fall together.
So, just keep pushing through until something works out. That's usually the lesson.
