I got rejected from every single internship I applied to last summer - consulting, finance, tech, and entertainment. At the very end, I settled for a role at a startup called RecruitU as a social media intern. I grew their Instagram from 0 to 100,000 and my own account from 0 to 50,000.

I never thought I'd be 37, unemployed, and living with my parents in Ohio again. A year ago, I was working at an AI startup in Los Angeles.

Then, almost overnight, it all fell apart.
