Click Here To Apply - Interviews About Interesting Jobs And How To Do Them
By Tony Sheng
This time, he wants to get it right. There are millions of things you could do, but you can only ever do one of those things at a time. It’s not fair. How do you find what you’re really meant to do? So instead of getting a job, he is starting a podcast to find out what everybody else is doing. And whether he should do it too.
Honest and playful, Click Here To Apply is a weekly opportunity for Tony to catch up with the most interesting people he knows and just maybe find something to do along the way.

End of season 1 and what to expect in season 2
We have reached the end of Season 1 which was focused on crypto people across disciplines! Thanks to all my guests and all you wonderful listeners. Click Here To Apply will be back with Season 2 at some time in the future with a new theme and a new batch of amazing guests. See you then!
#07 - Erik Torenberg thinks we should build career moats
Erik Torenberg is a general partner at Village Global, a founder of OnDeck, the host of Venture Stories podcast and just an overall swell guy.
In this episode, we talk about building career moats, building positive loops, finding asymmetric career bets, using twitter to your advantage, and a whole lot more.
It was a real joy to have Erik on the show. I loved this conversation and think you will too.

#06 - Jill Carlson thinks we should take more walks
Jill Carlson thinks we should all take more walks.
In this episode of Click Here To Apply, I have the pleasure of chatting with Jill Carlson about why we should challenge conventional ways of working, how she broke into the crypto industry by asking a challenging question at a conference, why you might not want to be the note-taker on your team, and the fallacy of the fig tree.
Jill was the first person I thought of when I started this podcast so I'm so thrilled she was able to come on. I learned a ton and think you will too.

#05 - Ed Moncada, CEO of Blockfolio, teaches me about following your gut and not giving up
Ed Moncada is the founder and CEO of Blockfolio, the well loved coin tracking application.
We talk about his winding career that includes sponsored skateboarder, poker pro, activist investor, and now founder of a prominent startup. More than anybody else I've met, Ed follows his gut. He finds something to obsess over and then pushes his performance to the limit. I learned a lot about developing good instincts, taking and managing risk, and finding the right people to work with.

#04 - Kyle Samani teaches me about starting and operating a crypto hedge fund
Kyle Samani, General Partner of Multicoin Capital, is one of the deepest thinkers and prolific writers in crypto.
In this conversation, I learn why. Before he started his first company, he set a goal of writing three blog posts a week. And today, he reads more every morning than I thought was humanly possible. We talk about these habits, his experience convincing people to back him as a first time fund manager, and why he's trying to be a little more divisive on twitter (Cunningham's Law fans are in shambles).

#02 - Soona Amhaz teaches me about founding Token Daily
Soona Amhaz, founder of Token Daily, thinks sometimes people should ebb and sometimes people should flow. And whether you should start a company depends on the direction of your tide.
