Shapiro takeaway - Michelle Chong

The biggest thing I took away from hearing Taylor Rees Shapiro speak was that no matter how boring the assignment sounds - there is always at least something interesting in the story, if you dig deep enough. Another advice of his that resonates to me was to work harder than anybody else. No matter which university you graduated from, the harder you work the better the outcome. I really enjoyed hearing him speak, he is very relatable and was brutally honest about what the journalism industry is actually like.
