I did an event planning internship with a major Seattle firm during the end of college that focused on corporate conferences and crazy executive trips – I had to create interactive pitches on why a company should trust us to send their top 30 executives on a five day yacht trip…learned a lot.

Go big – there are always reasons not to do something but what if the impact of doing it is just bigger.
