Episode 14 with Mustafa Ladha
“It's very ‘normal’ for people to kind of plateau at some point in their career in terms of their knowledge, their growth, their salary, and all of that. I think one of the things for me is anytime I feel comfortable, I try to do something to make me feel uncomfortable, try to push growth a little bit, whether that's the Amazon store or the nonprofit that I'm working on. Whatever it is, like I try to do something that pushes the envelope a little bit and forces me to grow… That would be my advice to people is always invest in yourself, to the best of your ability.”
