Making Your Family Proud and Asking Better Questions | Office Hours Podcast

In this episode of Office Hours, TK and Isaac riff on a recent blog post by Isaac about the idea of work-life balance and then answer questions about maintaining relationships with family and how to ask for better feedback.

Questions:

  • How do I find my passion and make my family proud?
  • How do you ask more relevant questions and take action according to the answers?
  • How do you tell your family an important truth that you know will disappoint them?

  • Taking responsibility for your professional development
  • Asking for critical feedback
