82. Post-Grad Gap Years + Should You Check Email in the Morning? (Q&A)

In this monthly Q&A episode, I answer two questions submitted by listeners of the show. 

Question One: A college student asks whether taking a year after graduation to travel will impact their hiring prospects. My answer might surprise you!

Question Two: A professional asks me to weigh in on some common productivity advice about email. I'll bet you've heard this advice before, too ... and I issue some words of caution if it's something you follow.
