Here is the exact words that Eric says: 
“I liked working on the website. I liked creating the graphics for the content calendar. What else did I do? And then some blog images as well. So I was able to gain some experience. I had like a running resume of what I was doing. So that was cool to be able to I guess I’ll be able to look back and say, well, I did accomplish some things and learn some good things and gain some experience. So. Can you tell me what did you think was your most valuable experience that you gained while I was accomplished? Most valuable, I learned how to take a, for the content calendar specifically, how to take someone else’s guidelines.
