I’m deeply grateful for the hardships. I’m grateful for the near-failures and the actual failures. I mean how else would I have learned how to weep silently in the bathroom stalls at work?

My #SmealSoMoney Commencement Speech

Honored to have been invited back to my alma mater Penn State to celebrate with the Class of 2017 Smeal College of Business students.

At the 25 minute mark, you can watch me talk about almost getting fired, getting laid off, living with a random married couple and the power of bird-sitting. All the joys of being a naive but determined 20-something. You can catch the full commencement address here. Or click here to read more on the Penn State News website.
