you don’t ask for

publicize wildly

10. Takeaways
● Be confident in what you do know... and what you don’t
● Don’t be afraid to talk to people, it’s just another human
● Show your passion and authenticity, but be mindful too
● Nothing is impossible, it just hasn’t been done yet
● Get creative, there is always another way
