112: Sahand Kargosha studies the past for better connections in the present [podcast]

Sahand Kargosha really likes history. Especially United States history. In an effort to learn as much as he can, he's read many books about the Civil War and both World Wars. He's been doing this ever since he was little, learning how important reading was from his Mom. In this episode, Sahand and I talk about how being a bit of a history buff has allowed him to develop some great relationships in the office – especially with a Tax Partner. This helped even before he started with EY, since his interview with a Senior Manager turned to discussing the Civil War. He likes to talk about this and finds it's a good way to connect with others. He says he has yet to find anyone that absolutely hates history and that "…there are so many ways to bond with people – the work itself is just one of those ways."
