Sherjan here, your host of My Personal Mentor podcast, bringing you unfiltered and candid advice related to careers and life.

On this episode of Story Time we have Richard Henriques. Richard was born in Los Angeles and has made it a mission of his to never leave the beautiful la la land. He went to Cal State Los Angeles and when there weren't a lot of employers hiring at his school, he took it upon himself and created a group to attract employers to the school. Through networking and building relationships with people far and wide, he broke into Boeing, then NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, then Deloitte, and now at Internet Brands. His story is one of perseverance, staying focused on the long term goal, and being happy along the way. Tune in, it's Story Time!
