Everyone loves to talk about their passion, no one tells you the process that it takes to get there.
Honson's journey is filled with ups and downs, mistakes, but most importantly, how he ended up on top and knows exactly what he wants to do now.
It may not be a step-by-step repeatable process, but I believe the general lesson in this episode is something every student needs to hear.

I am one to always push LinkedIn as the #1 place to network for your career, but Sean has a different perspective.
And his argument is a good one.
We also talk about cold emailing and how you can begin to reach out to individuals that you don't know when you're looking for a job.

Whose crazy enough to move halfway across the country with $1000 to find a job in tech without any tech experience?
Sean Thielen is and I came across his story after his Tweetstorm went viral.
Sean graduated from UCLA with a degree in biology and turned down a job offer before moving to New York.
This is part 1 of our 2-part series with Sean talking about why he made that decision and how he found his first tech internship in New York.
There is also an amazing story that could only happen in NY at the end.
