The Room Went Silent After I Told My Story (ALX Roundtable)

Yesterday, I sat in a room with ALX alumni and a visiting founder and told my story. The raw version. The room went silent. In this video, I take you inside the ALX roundtable: how I went from being laid off after more than five years in hotels, to scams online, to finding ALX, and what the founder said about my story that I will never forget. I also share: The funny moment about my first ALX payment that made the room laugh What I learned about telling your story My advice if you are attending your first networking session An update on a job I was waiting on If you missed the video that led to this one, watch it here: [link] If you had to tell your story in one room, what would you start with?
