34. August Q&A: College Freshman Advice, Annotating Used Books, and Staying Relevant at Work

Learn and Work Smarter

It's time for our August Q&A episode! This is where I answer questions submitted by listeners -- yes, that's you!
In this week's Q&A, I answer three listener questions:

✅Question 1: A soon-to-be college student asks me for advice for heading into freshman year of college.
✅Question 2: A working professional asks about annotating used books. Do we ignore the previous reader's annotations? Do we pay attention to them?
✅Question 3: A working professional with industry expertise and experience is wondering how to keep her skill set relevant when her colleagues are getting younger and younger.
