Four months after starting 20VC, I was interviewing for an analyst role at a Tier 1 firm. I was 18 and I had done 12 20VC shows. The condition: if I got the job, I had to stop doing the podcast. 4 out of 5 partners voted to hire me. But they needed unanimous consent, and I was rejected. That one partner who voted no changed my life forever in a way that I will always be so truly grateful for.
