David Hornick, Founding Partner at Lobby Capital, has built a career defined by genuine relationships, long-term curiosity, and staying useful in every stage of work. In this episode, Dave talks through how to approach work when you’re early in your career and still figuring it all out. He shares how small points of connection, consistent curiosity, and helping others can open unexpected doors—and why none of those things require a title or a resume.
From showing up to a professor’s office in college, to asking the right question in a boardroom, to turning a moment of shared geography into a meaningful relationship—Dave’s career is full of examples where attention and intention outperformed credentials and scale.
Whether you're thinking about your first job or trying to build a more sustainable career long-term, this episode offers a refreshingly honest perspective on how to show up, stay useful, and build something real.
