Brandon TraditiGuestAvery SmithHostI've talked to, you know, like you said, some Tableau hall of famers and people who are experts in everything, and I had the chance to learn from so many people, and I, I definitely don't know it all.
So it's really cool to hear that, you know, even after you going through my boot camp, you have...
Going through the apprenticeship of the Information School and you using Tableau on the job every day for, what? Like a year now, uh, you're, you're still learning stuff.
So, uh, I think that's very impactful, and I hope everyone listening, uh, really takes that to heart.
It's like, and I, I commute into the city and, you know, it's every morning when I go in, it's, you know, you see a lot of people who are, are in, you know, maybe positions that they don't want to, and they, they look a little down.
It's every day I walk into that building with a huge smile on my face of just like, "This is everything that I always wanted it to be.
This is exactly what I envisioned when I said, you know, I wanted to get my dream job." Um, I get to be creative.
And that's amazing, and, uh, I think that's a testament to a lot of people who are maybe in a job that they hate right now, that they're worried that the grass isn't greener on the other side.
And in my opinion, obviously everyone's in different circumstances, but if possible, like, you're gonna live a long time and you're gonna spend, you know, a third of your life working, um, if not more.
[chuckles] And so take the steps necessary today to figure out how to get a, a situation where you can actually have a smile on your face for that third.
