Just the other day I recorded an episode for STEMulating Podcast with Dr. Qualls, where I shared how stress and a lack of cultural fit caused me to walk away from a role that could have been perfect for me. In this “Team No Sleep,” “Outwork Your Competition,” dog eats dog world, stress has been and still is the number one killer of Americans.
