GOOD QUESTION | What movie/TV show/song title best describes your job?

Readers pick the song/movie/TV show title that best describes their job.

“A Hard Day’s Night” by the Beatles. It perfectly sums up my job because helping build a company in such a fast-paced industry inherently has its difficulties, which usually have me working long days that turn into nights. I enjoy my job and love the complex nature of the business, but I can confidently say each day is harder than the last.

“Pure Grinding” by Avicii. That’s what is required to get the job done.

The Right Stuff—probably one of the greatest movies of the 80s. It’s about Chuck Yeager and the first Mercury astronauts including John Glenn, Alan Shepard, Gordon Cooper, and Virgil “Gus” Grissom—hands down one of my favorite movies. For starters, the title reminds me of the team I am surrounded with, but also the plot has some interesting parallels. Our team has a strong vision and we know what our destination is. We have a lot of challenges ahead that will require courage, teamwork, and leadership. Just like in the movie, we will probably have to push the envelope.
