After a much-needed and long break to rebrand the podcast and improve audio quality, ‘Guests’ podcast is back! This time, I interviewed Brandon Silberstein—a Stanford graduate, policy manager at Instacart, and talented writer, actor, and ceramic artist. Brandon talks about designing his own major at Stanford, his jobs at think tanks, Google, Pinterest, and so much more. He shares lessons learned from career missteps, his passion for writing, acting, and ceramics, as well as valuable insights on navigating rejection and the importance of practicing kindness.
