My corporate sales job was sucking my soul out one call at a time. I'd drag my feet from one mind-numbing meeting to the next, asking myself: Why am I choosing this life?After I graduated from college in 2016, I was unsure what I wanted to do. I bought a one-way ticket to Puerto Rico and traveled the world. I visited 12 countries that year and discovered how free I felt while abroad.

When I got back to the States, my brother got me an interview at the investment firm he worked at in Camas, a small city in southwest Washington. He was one of their top salespeople, and because we shared the same blood, I guess management assumed I might be cut from the same cloth.

Heiter won the salesperson of the year award on his sales team.
