Shownotes Transcript

In this episode, we break down the truth behind the 100 hour myths and sensationalized headlines.

The reality is more nuanced think of it like a bell curve, with some intense weeks, some lighter ones, and most falling somewhere in between. We also talk about how the workload often differs between weekdays and weekends, and what you're actually signing up for in those first two years.
