“Staj provided me with the invaluable opportunity to shadow a Founder I deeply admire. There’s truly no better way to learn than by following in the footsteps of those you aspire to emulate. The experience was exceptional, especially because David from Superlost was not only generous with his knowledge but also an incredible mentor and teacher. I’m immensely grateful to Staj for this wonderful introduction and opportunity.”
