description:

During college, Kelly Breslin Wright carried a 25-pound backpack door-to-door selling educational products. She had doors slammed in her face, dogs let loose on her, and even the police got involved. This adversity was the character building that later allowed her to grow Tableau from $0 into a multi-billion dollar company. Today's conversation talks about how to find mentors, leverage your network to get your next job, and being in the driver's seat of your career.
