Dan Toomey was rejected by the job he'd always wanted for four straight years. It was the luckiest thing that ever happened for his career.

In this episode: how do you build your dream career out of a job you never expected? Plus: why creating in public might get you hired, why Dan stopped looking at the numbers, and the case for taking up fly fishing in your 20s (and beyond).
