This is the first of InternMatch’s Find Your Focus speaker series. Find Your Focus is looking to be the TEDx of student career advice. We bring executives from top companies around the country including Amazon, HP, Google, Zynga and more to share their unique career insights.
Dave Schappell is a former Amazon product manager, professional poker player, micro-finance industry leader, and current CEO of TeachStreet.com, one of Seattle’s most successful startup companies. In his presentation, Dave covers everything from the cost-benefits of surfing and smoking pot at the beach, to why he left Amazon even as the company was growing into an e-commerce titan.
Dave covers the tough topics, offering honest insight into why it is so hard to find and pursue a career you love. We hope you enjoy Dave’s career insights and feel free to share your feedback about the presentation and what you would like to hear more of in the future:
