Hey there! Ever wondered what it’s like to dive into the working world at 15? Join me, Dean, as I take you back to the mid-nineties for a wild ride through my very first job as a telemarketer. Spoiler alert: it’s a rollercoaster of smoke-filled offices, chain-smoking bosses, and a hilarious mix of rejection and unexpected connections.
In this episode, I share the valuable life lessons learned from getting hung up on, dealing with colorful characters, and fighting for a paycheck to buy that dream bike. Whether you’re reminiscing about your first gig or looking for some entrepreneurial inspiration, this story is sure to give you a good laugh and a fresh perspective on building resilience.
So grab your headphones, settle in, and let’s chat about how a tough job can give you the thick skin you need to succeed. And hey, I’d love to hear your own thick skin stories too! Connect with me on LinkedIn and let’s keep the conversation going. Cheers!
