Agribusiness Economics from UC Davis
Areas of Interest
05/18/22 • 81 min
Ranger and I are "literally the same person" according to him, and he isn't entirely wrong. The similarities throughout the interview were shockingly funny, and we had some serious nerd moments when it came to reptiles and arthropods. Ranger received his degree in Managerial Economics with an emphasis in Agribusiness, but Ranger just likes to call it Ag-Economics for short. He now has his own coaching services to help people reach their goals and realize their potential in life. He is also the President of the Northern California Herpetological Society. This conversation is just a wealth of knowledge, and I talk more about UC Davis at the end of the episode (and I talk about the controversial mess in 2011).

Dual Enrollment
Areas of Interest
03/01/22 • 67 min
Today's guest doesn't have their 4-year degree yet, but they wanted to shed light on the dual enrollment program in Georgia. What is Dual Enrollment? Well, among other things, it is a program that allows high school students to take college classes. This is different than AP (Advanced Placement), and Hayden will discuss all the advantages and disadvantages to taking college classes while still in high school. In the second-half of this interview, we will discuss Hayden's passion in life and why he is considering switching career paths.

Journalism & Media Communications from Otterbein University
Areas of Interest
04/29/22 • 71 min
Noah's time at Otterbein University was not the kind of positive stories we've heard before. By the time this episode comes out, Noah will have already graduated with his undergraduate degree in Journalism & Media Communications (Congrats!). The truth is that if Noah could do it all over again, he would. Different degree, different school, different path. This isn't a conversation on why Otterbein is a terrible school, but rather one lackluster experience that didn't pan out the way it was supposed to happen. That's not to say that Noah became unsuccessful, in fact, Noah was able to land an awesome internship and pursue his passion through his podcast Retrospection Radio. I really really like this podcast because of its story-telling style, Noah's voice, and his thoughts on the subject.
Stay tuned for the end of the episode where I lay out some facts and stats about Otterbein University, and why I think their mascot should be a clam-crushing fierce Otter.

Areas of Interest
03/15/22 • 62 min
Is this real?! Can someone pinch me? Jack Rhysider was such a fun guest, and shared his college/career experience in Computer Engineering. The beginning of the episode talks about his very popular podcast called Darknet Diaries. I just recently snagged an awesome t-shirt for my friend Cesar, who is also a big fan of the show.
If you are familiar with the show's background, then you can jump to ~12:45 mins into the episode where we pick up on Jack's early days at community college. Later on in the episode we talk more about Jack's time as an undergraduate student, his career in the field, how Darknet Diaries started to form, and future ideas for his career.

Matt got his B.S. in Exercise Science from Truman State University and a M.S. in Kinesiology from Texas Christian University.

Howdy ya'll from Austin, Texas! Marco Yim navigated his academic career through a Co-Education program at University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. He received a Bachelors of Arts Degree in Arts in Business and Legal Studies. Marco talks about what a co-ed program is and how it gave him an upper hand in the job market after graduation. I honestly don't know why this type of program isn't the norm in the United States, but perhaps having this conversation is necessary for the career advancement of tomorrow's students. Marco developed Extempra to help job applicants improve their communication and public speaking skills for interviewing in today's competitive world. You can also listen to his podcast Extemporaneously to get help with tips on improving communication skills. You can also find Marco on Twitter @extempra
