The Wednesday Play: Apply Anyway
How a single mom made a billion dollars, getting the courage to apply, & Dolly Parton's life lessons.

Hi Playmakers,
The first time I applied for a job I wasn’t “qualified” for, I nearly backed out.
It was a Silicon Valley tech role asking for an Ivy League degree, years of experience, and technical skills I didn’t have. The majority of people in the industry with similar roles were lawyers or people with Masters degrees.
But I applied anyway.
