What These Two Crazy Entrepreneurs Think of College (One Loved it, One Didn't!)

Join me and Alex Boase in sharing all of our thoughts and insights on - college!

Both of us went, both of us taught (yep! these kids are doomed haha)... one loved it, and one didn't!

In this episode we talked about

  • What we really think of college, and whether it's "essential" to succeed in business
  • Examples of the useless parts and useful parts of college
  • Personal opinions on how we could make college better
  • Other ways entrepreneurs could still learn the best parts of business BEFORE they start a business
  • Other criticisms of college
  • Does college set you up for networking properly and developing EQ?
  • What we think of its costs and the ROI (student loans suck!)
  • How traditional, conventional education takes the creativity out of people
  • How we feel about the future of college

Get to know Alex!

Alex studied practical entrepreneurship for the past 7 years through the lens of product management with early-stage startups, and is about to celebrate the one year anniversary of the opening his first venture, which is a Party Hostel called Why Not Rooftop (@whynotplaya) on the Carribbean coast of Mexico.

Alex has a background in design and conversion optimization, but his bread and butter is in building and developing teams & talent. On the side, he teaches college courses in product management and user experience design.

Hope you loved this episode, and maybe send it to a few high school kids.

Karla's Greatest Hits: My Best Lessons on Networking

Karla's Greatest Hits: My Best Lessons on Networking

Most people would classify me as "extroverted". I don't think I am a full extrovert though. I love my me-time and I love peaceful nights at home, sipping tea and reading a book. IKR, sounds cliche, but it's true! Ask my husband, lol. The thing is, people think this way because they've seen me move around different crowds, different circles of friends, and different business industries. Some are surprised how I can even get into these rooms, or surprised that I spent time with particular celebrities, and business people who were very "unapproachable". Well, I think, throughout the years, I've consciously learned and improved on the skill of networking.Actual networking. Building meaningful professional and personal relationships that stand the test of time. Listen to this episode for some cool tips on how to land your dream job, your dream business circle, your dream man, and your dream friendships...through networking! I don't have all the answers, but I have some milestones and learnings that I want to share with you. :) Hope you like it!

One Man's Journey to Sobriety with Eric Oberembt

One Man's Journey to Sobriety with Eric Oberembt

Sometimes it's funny to me how drinking alcohol is a "norm" and if you're the one who is not doing that, you're the odd one out. I experienced a few moments in my life where I would consider myself an alcoholic...I would not be able to finish a day without a few glasses of wine, or my favorite cocktail. Thankfully these moments only lasted a few months but if I was to go back, I would never do it again. At the time, it made sense, but I also know I was covering up a deeper issue that needed proper attention. In this podcast episode, I sit with Eric Oberembt, Founder of Roofers in Recovery and owner of a seven figure roofing business. He tells me his rock bottom story of when he was deep into drugs, alcohol, and bad decisions, how he turned his life around, dating without drinking, how he decided to devote his life in serving his community through his nonprofit, and the ONE SECRET QUALITY TRAIT to have to avoid pitfalls in life like depression and alcoholism. Tune in for a feel-good treat, and share with someone who matters to you.***Eric Oberembt is the CEO of D&M Roofing and Siding in Omaha, NE. He is the co-founder of the non profit "Roofers in Recovery" sending people in addiction to treatment centers to get the help they need. He is the author of two books about residential and commercial roofing. He is a coach at the "Commercial Roofing Academy'' and Co-founder of the National Vendor Network "Advanced Roofing Technologies". Lastly, the Podcast host of "Be Authentic or GTFO and Keynote Speaker. Eric has spoken at D2DCon, SRC Summit, and as a Mainstage Keynote at Roofcon.
