What I know now that I wish I had known at 20

Wouldn’t it be great to be 20 years old but with the benefit of a lifetime experience?

What different decisions would you make?

Recently I was asked these questions and many more by Mark Kelly as part of his WIKN series.

The podcast is short but addresses the best advice I could ever give a 20 year old, lessons learned about life, business and relationships, and many tips from a lifetime in recruitment.

Watch the podcast here!

I hope you enjoy it.

I'm a firm believer in this non-nonsense kind of experience sharing, to paraphrase Hunter S. Thompson "Let's get down to brass tacks... how much for the ape?" My father passed nearly 20 years ago and I'm still learning from him too. I hope one day someone will benefit from the myriad of mistakes I've made (and am going to make) over my lifetime. Good stuff Greg!
