What was the most valuable piece of career advice that you received? It’s tough to pin it to one thing. I’d say the most valuable piece of advice I received very early in my career is to not be afraid of making mistakes. It’s going to happen: own them, learn from them and move on. It’s impossible to be perfect and learning from failure is as valuable as immediate success.
