Chapters

Someone at the company and saying, hey, can I please work for you for free? What I did instead was I did research on the company. What was their history? Who were the founders? What were their goals? What were the things they're currently working on? And I sent a pitch deck over to Tyler Dank, the CEO of Beehive, actually, with three summer project ideas I could do to help them. And I sent it over to him, and he loved it. And so that's the approach that I recommend to other young people, or even authors as well, is like, how can you do the work upfront to show your value?
