TENTANG EPISODE INI
"While you're young and don't have a mortgage to pay or kids to feed, you might as well go find what you like. And then do your best to incorporate that throughout your life and hopefully, that crosses over into your career as well."
Jack Divney (@jdivsauce22) is a 26-year-old sales development representative at Segment, a customer data software company. He's a Colorado transplant who navigates the sales world when he’s not outside.
Jack is an avid skier, hiker, novice climber, and always looking for something new. He's been on a 40-day road trip across the U.S., traveled in Thailand for 20-days, and much more.
After graduating college a semester late, Jack took up a job as a substitute teacher in New Jersey. He later worked in sales at Xerox, but left the company when he decided he wanted to live in Colorado. Jack crashed on a friend's couch in Denver while pursuing a job at Education First. He got the position and remained there for over a year, until the pandemic limited operations. He then took the position at Segment.
