"Coming out of high school in a blue collar world, I didn't have the opportunity. It just wasn't a financial opportunity to go to college from there." "I graduated high school on a Friday. I turned 18 that Saturday and I started working in what I'll call tech that Monday. And that was midnight to eight. Third shift, graveyard shift, working in a computer room, lower levels in the print room in a big, huge mainframe operation. And it was absolutely miserable, I'll be honest. But that's how I got in. That was my non-traditional college education or lack of and going into the workforce. And I basically went back to college later on in life on nights and weekends and got my degree from there." Our career paths are rarely linear. Different doors lead to different paths. For Edward Gustenhoven, he shared how his blue collar upbringing shaped his attitude to never hesitate to roll up his sleeves and get the job done. 📺 Watch or listen to his full episode on our #TechLegacies podcast here: https://lnkd.in/gePiKB8m Here's some of the other topics we cover: 🔹 best career advice he ever received 🔹 untraditional education path 🔹 top 3 ERP lessons 🔹 how do you build trust 🔹 going from fear based to trust and integrity 🔹 how do you hire someone you can trust 🔹 how to find mentors 🔹 lessons from the beverage industry 🔹 key to giving someone undivided attention 🔹 how to handle self doubt and uncertainty -------------------- Huge thank you to CG Infinity for sponsoring our podcast so we are able to feature these tech leaders with their perspectives and insights.
