“Taking Initiative with Your Career”

They share stories about taking initiative, not waiting for someone else’s permission and recognizing that it only takes one person to take a chance on you. They also talk about being curious and honest about what you don’t know, that everything is helping all the other things, as well as the importance of going after what you want.
