As always, we're thankful for each of you for listening to the show and wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving!

Key takeaways:

1. Embrace the Power of Side Hustles: Larry shares his experience as an entrepreneur and the value of having multiple side hustles. Having different ventures allows for growth, flexibility, and the opportunity to bring everything together under your personal brand.
2. Find the Right Mentors: Sara highlights the importance of finding mentors who can guide you in your journey. Look for someone you respect, admire, and can learn from in the field you aspire to be in. Mentors provide invaluable insights and support that can shape your career.
3. Don't Let Work Define Your Mental State: Both Larry and Sara discuss the significance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance. It's essential not to let work-related stress impact your mental health. Remember, it's just a job, and focusing too much on work can hinder personal growth and well-being.
