Took me 6 years and an audio book to finish this one. I can understand why a lot of people enjoy this book but personally, I probably would not recommend this book to anyone. I think this is a good book for introducing people to multiple different topics, but I know that there are other books at take a deeper dive into these topics with stronger and more concrete examples such as, but not limited to Think Again by Adam Grant and Essentialism by Greg McKeown. With that being said, I was able to capture common themes I saw from this book and a dozen other self help books I’ve read (41 in 2023) and share with you today--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chatsoverhotkoko/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chatsoverhotkoko/support

HI HOT KOKO FANATICS!! Here are the top things I learned from co-oping for my Fall 2019 semester at a Consumer Package Goods (CPG) Company. I LOVED EVERY MOMENT CO-OPING AT THIS COMPANY SO I COULDN'T WAIT TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU- even though I kept it very general without touching on my projects- for another episode if there are requests. Consolidating it was VERY hard. I also did not want to repeat myself from my other internship lessons as I want you guys to learn as much as possible, and that requires NEW lessons so I hope that this episode brings awareness to you and helps you go forward with your life. A lot of these things are second nature for me now so it was hard ngl to create this!
