Several quotes from this episode:

“It’s never that people figure out their career by themselves. There’s always a guide, there’s always somebody who can see outside of you and really help you to maneuver your own career path.”
“One of the things about careers that I tell people all the time: they’re tricky because they’re so close to us that it feels like we should just know.”
“It’s really just talking to people and getting to understand their values and what’s most important to them in their life.”
“One of the biggest things that I think helps people is to have a bigger vision for your life.”
“Our brains are not perfect replicas of reality, they are based on our own series of experiences.”
