guest: jordan rogers, former director of marketing at nike
- focus on what you are, not what you are not, then build skills around your actual strengths
- volunteer and show up consistently at events for years if that is what it takes to break into a dream company
- learn emerging skills early like photography or video, since those extras often set you apart more than your resume
- when trying to land a role, ask what the team needs and how you can help instead of only talking about yourself
- build a passion project outside your day job, since initiative and effort often matter more than a polished resume
