And while many people know Vice as the resident DJ of Vegas's biggest clubs, not many people know that the man is a runner! In fact, he's run a mile a day every day for the last four years.

Parker Olson is surely one of the most unique individuals I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.

The idea for this episode was inspired by a question I received from a listener asking how to apply psychological persuasion principles to resume building. So, behold, the serial position effect! Disclaimer: I've never been hired for a job that required me to submit a resume... only rejected, twice... So I'm probably not the best person to take resume advice from. However, the serial position effect is both real and at play in everyday life! The content in this episode will be valuable...
