Welcome back to another episode of “Is That How It Happened?” — the show where we explore the real stories behind the titles, the turning points behind the triumphs, and the paths that brought people to where they are today. I'm your host, Van Vanimal Flowers.

Whether you’re in tech, management, or just fascinated by how careers evolve, this episode has something for you.
