#56 Dropping Into Your Passion with Sarah Grosz + Leann Abad REPOST Dec 28, 2018

Show notes

Since I'm currently on a family vacation in Vermont, I decided to repost one of my favorite episodes from 2018 in case any new listeners haven't heard this one.

“Instead of dropping out, you’re actually dropping into something”

I interviewed Leann Abad and Sarah Grosz for the podcast and they explained that dropping out of college was not about disconnecting from education.

Rather it was a way for them to further their education in their respective fields.

For Leann, that meant dropping out to work on his startup Ashe media.

For Sarah, that meant moving across the country to work full-time as a growth hacker BAMF media.

The stigma behind college drop outs being lazy or unmotivated could not be further from the truth.

In some ways I envy those who have dropped out of college.

Because going against the grain of what society has deemed “the right choice” to pursue the unknown takes courage.

But, more importantly it takes #selfawareness and as young people that’s what we should be chasing down more than anything.

Discovering Your Unfinished Legacy with Photographer + Skater + Entrepreneur Brema Brema Dec 24, 2018

Show notes

Brema Brema is one of the founding members of the Urban Misfit Ventures and an overall badass creative.

Brema grew up in a refugee camp in Sudan and with the help of the United Nations he and his family were able to move to the United States.

Initially, he didn't fit in and was bullied at school.

But rather than use that negative energy in a harmful way, Brema invested his focus into art.

From negative -> positive.

Talking with Brema you can tell he's a humble guy but one look at his Instagram page @optic.legacy (currently at 58,000 followers) and you can see how talented he is in his work.

Throughout the years, Brema has built up a portfolio of creative passions from skating -> graffiti -> clothing -> photography. Regardless his work is visually aesthetic and uniquely him.

He is currently a creative director at the Urban Misfit Ventures and founder of his own clothing line @unfinishedlegacy. At only 20 years old, Brema was named one of Wisconsin's 25 Under 25 Rising Entrepreneurs.

Real Talk #9 l School's Over What? Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

Whether you're a high school senior or college graduate we've all had those, "now what?!" moments. The future is scary and can cause a lot of anxiety. What's super crucial in these moments is to be true to yourself and continue hustling on the things you find enjoyable. If you have to find a full-time job to support your side hustle then my #1 tip for kicking off your career is: Don't apply to all of your time applying to jobs. Create content surrounding your story. Be relatable and open-minded. I guarantee people will reach out to provide you some valuable guidance along the way. ❓Are you approaching graduation and figuring life out?
