How does someone land their dream job… right out of college? How does someone position themselves to create some of the biggest breakout products in the tech industry? How does someone walk alongside some of the most successful people in the world?  Well… that’s what we’re talking about in THIS episode… and you might be surprised to find that someone who’s done just that will be quick to tell you that he wasn’t motivated by ambition… but instead… by enthusiasm and passion. That’s right. Tom Conrad is joining us!  Tom is living a true DREAM THINK DO life!  He dreamed of working for Apple as a kid… and pursued that goal.  While going to the University of Michigan… he secured an internship with Apple… and after a bold conversation… he wound up being recruited by Apple after graduating. In addition to his experience at Apple… Tom’s been a vital part of some significant successes. For example… he was a co-creator and Chief Technology officer and Executive Vice President of Product at Pandora… which he helped take from zero to 80 million users. He was the VP of Product for Snap… where he worked side by side with Evan Spiegel. (If you don’t know… Evan became the youngest billionaire in the world in 2015.) Tom’s now the CEO for Zero… a metabolic health app which is on a mission to extend the lifespan and the health span of the human race.  He’s helped the app to grow to almost 14 million users AND… sidebar… they have a 4.8 in the Apple store… with over 435,000 ratings… which is wildly impressive! Now… along with these big wins… Tom is also quick to point to some setbacks along the way.  And we’ll talk about those as well… and what Tom learned from them!  It’s a great conversation… so let’s get to it!
