What did you do in college to set you up for success in your career so far?
I network. Just meet as many people as possible. Is this for USD students? Yes, it is.
If you're a USD student watching this, ask your friends to hang out with their parents. A lot of your friends have very successful parents. That's the number one thing I did, and I got so much out of it.
USD has an incredible group of alumni and people connected with it. Ask your peers, "What do your parents do?" and "How can I talk to them?" I did that a lot in college, and it really helped.
