First in Future: Founder and Executive Director of the Monti Jeff Polish

Summary: So what is the story of the work you are doing? How can you tell it in a way that will get other people excited about moving it forward? If you can tell a good story to show people why they should care, you’re more likely to get your work greenlighted.
