In this episode, I introduce speaker Angel Gonzalez, and we talk about how he went from an accounting major unsure of where he was going to a product marketing manager at Linkedin. This company hires less than 1% of all applicants.
Angel was a man on a mission. He shares about his process of figuring out what he wanted and then how he got it. And just a teaser, it involved Y-combinator, but not in the way you would think.
