In this first part of a two-part episode, hosts Morgan and Stacey take a trip down memory lane, sharing personal stories and pivotal lessons from their 20s.

Topics Discussed:

  • Graduating College and Career Beginnings: Morgan and Stacey discuss the excitement and uncertainty of starting their careers during a recession, and how those tough times taught them invaluable lessons in grit and determination.
