At age 23, Shane McSimov was sick of the BS he kept hearing about work, life, business and careers. Three days after starting a new job in Seattle, he grabbed his notebooks, computer, and ideas and booked a round-trip train ride from Seattle to San Francisco. The mission? To write a book in the 24-hour train ride and share all the notes he'd collected so far in his working career: and to cut the crap about what people were saying about business and careers.What results is a collection of 75 funny, real, raw thoughtsand occasional rants about starting a career, doing work that matters, making a difference, and why having a carefully-crafted resume is the last thing you need to make shit happen in today's world. Along the way, he maps his journey with photographs out the train window and annotating what's on his iPod, what's distracting him, and the time it takes to write each post. Raw, funny, vulnerable and to-the-point, each essay cuts down on the layers of crap we hear daily to tell the real story-about how to make it happen.
