What is one lesson that you have learned that has proven significant in your career?

I'd say that the number one thing I've learned kind of ties back to something I was saying earlier about understanding how much free time I had before my job. Now, I feel like I can really effectively use my time.

I just think that time management is everything in this job, whether you're working or off work. It's important to make sure you're maximizing what you're doing with your time.
