“What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20″

Saturday, April 4th, 2009

I have been a longtime fan of Tina Seelig, and her talk at Stanford titled “What I Wish I Knew When I was 20″ that she originally gave to some West Point grads. The podcast is here, a high-level summary here. I’m excited to find out today that she’s now making that into a book! (preview available) SIGN ME UP!  I’m a big fan of that book – and _highly_ recommend it to anyone :) Go Tina!
