How does someone land their dream job?
In this episode of The Person You Want to Be, Emmy-nominated writer/producer Mark Hentemann (Late Show with David Letterman, Family Guy, and others) shares that the path to success in his case had a very long runway.
Luck certainly played its part, but luck can strike in both positive and negative ways (he should know, having literally been struck by lightning as a teenager!).
In relaying his story, Mark shares how a book he happened upon in his youth helped him develop the mindset of a “tough-minded optimist” and emphasizes the importance of his having spent years and countless hours honing his craft.
We also cover how Mark developed a parallel career for himself as a real estate investor!
