Topiltzin on being the chief of staff at a fintech company

This week I speak with my friend from college, Topiltzin. After graduating Yale, he became a Venture for America Fellow and joined Honeycomb Credit instead of taking Google up on their return offer. Hear about how he thought about what he wanted out of his first job and how he navigates a job with no roadmap.

This episode is best for: those thinking about taking the "risky" path; making it into the startup world with a liberal arts background
