Bad on paper. Winning at life.
A deep dive into how millennials are killing it at work without fancy degrees (+ how you can do the same).
This week on BOP, I talked to Alfred Lua - Marketing Lead at Referral Candy.
Previously, he did product marketing, content marketing, and community at Buffer. Outside of work, he has experimented with several side projects, including a paid newsletter and an e-commerce store. And on top of that, he swims, cycles, and runs as a triathlete.
Alfred's story is unique because not only does he credit the hiring team at Buffer because they took a bet on him but he also helps and mentors college students that want to break into the industry.
