Part of our success in tech has been the ability to not be afraid and try things to see what happens. We discuss how this connects to driving directions. Yes there may be failure (like our guest that we couldn’t connect to), but the mindset of not being afraid of failure is immense. Have you worked in tech support – let us know your story below.
