Get ready for the second episode of Up Next. Today, we're talking with Landon Campbell, the General Manager at Drive Capital and host of the inTheir20s podcast. Growing up in the bay area, he moved to Chicago for college where he's built a successful life and career from the ground up. 

We talk about how Landon managed to do 10 internships during college, his experience interviewing people like Steve Wozniak (co-founder Apple) for his podcast, and his journey to becoming a venture capitalist investing millions of dollars. We wrap it up with Landon's take on success, happiness, and the three best decisions he's ever made.

Tune in to learn how you can work backwards in your career, how to kill it at an internship, why you should be creating content, and for Landon's thoughts on whether college is even worth it.
