My biggest regret is not being authentic about who I was and concealing that I went to Stanford.
But having done that, I learned the incredible lesson of being intentional with who you are.
Which is a great lesson to learn at age 20.
I thought it would help me long-term in the game, to not be known as the future Stanford grad… but what I found was that it was essentially a lie I had to keep up, and I didn’t want to blow my cover once I started that narrative, so I ended up playing it safe and not saying as much, and coming off as a lot more quiet that I am in real life.
