I felt privileged to have this conversation with matthew sobkowski Matthew Sobkowski a member of my development team.
Matt was very open about his experience - Matt studied psychology and was in med school. I also considered studying medicine. I could relate to a lot to his feelings - I too would have found medicine difficult to practice.

Matt is someone who people could easily mistake for not being interested in conversations - see attribution error. For instance in the video when then team gave feedback on our careers page.
Playing the conversation again I was impressed with how Matt chooses not to judge people on a first meeting but takes his time to access whether or not he can trust people.
I liked his approach of clearing his mind metaphorically looking at problems using a white board.
