Note from Abigayle: Excited to share that I’m working on this newsletter with my good friend, Andrew Cui. Learn more about his story below 👇️ 

🦄 MEET ANDREW

In college, I was often depressed. 

I studied biomed: grinding away nights & weekends in the lab in pursuit of getting into a PhD program.

It became lonely, unfulfilling, even sad at times.

Meanwhile, I watched from the sidelines as college kids built tech startups.

I applied for startup jobs for months, getting nowhere.

As an introvert, networking events often left me more discouraged than anything.

Then, finally, I met some mentors who UNDERSTOOD me.

I took a chance—emailed them, and pitched the C-Suite on why I was the perfect fit.

Fast forward, I've been Chief of Staff 2x and worked at 4 startups, never applied once.

At 24, I'm regularly in rooms with executives of 8-figure businesses. I travel to conferences and stay as a guest in my CEO's house for weeks at a time.

I’m the healthiest I’ve ever been.

💥 I’m excited to join Abby on her upcoming webinars & help mentor you all.

For me, nothing is off limits, from getting ghosted by recruiters to the tougher parts of life.
