What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
It's weird because I would consider myself to be pretty introverted. But speaking to interesting people, I think I mentioned a couple questions ago, we really are working with the fastest-growing companies in the most cutting-edge industry.
You'll find that the executives at those companies tend to be very well-spoken, very smart, very driven, high energy, and high clock speed. They are just exciting and engaging people to interact with, and people that I can learn so much from.
So, while the thought of having conversations all day, every day is a little bit exhausting sometimes, I do genuinely enjoy being able to interact with the people that I get to on a day-to-day basis.
