E95 | Career Success Secret: Networking–Adam Marx
04/12/22 • 61 min
Did you know that many vacancies are filled as a result of networking? Some estimates show that up to 85% of jobs are filled this way. While job-seekers focus their efforts on job boards, many opportunities are missed simply because many vacancies aren't even advertised.
Interestingly, many are convinced that one major reason to go to college is for the network it provides and how it will benefit your career. But, we think that's a pretty expensive price to pay for something you can get for free. All it takes is some time and effort.
In this episode Adam Marx and Jonaed talk about networking for career or business success and how you can build your own network without paying overpriced college tuition.

E94 | Dropout with Undiagnosed Mental Illness is Now a Thriving Software Engineer–Lucas Bédout
Although his mom was a teacher, she didn’t object when he dropped out of college. There was one catch: Lucas Bédout (pronounced Luka Bedoo) had to get a job. Initially, he decided he’d become a tennis coach but in the words of his manager, he was too bad at tennis to train at the pro-level and, he couldn’t afford the training necessary to become a tennis coach.
Listen in as he tells Jonaed about his mental health struggles, how an online game led to his software engineer career and why you should never blame yourself for failing.

E96 | From $100/hr as High School Intern to $10k/mo Before 21–Collin Castrina
In high school he was got paid $100/hr to do social media consultations. Collin Castrina’s dad was a businessowner so he grew up surrounded by entrepreneurs. He got his start in middle school the way most kids did-he sold candy at school dances and shoveled snow.
By the time he got to high school, he interned at a local marketing agency where he eventually became the VP of Marketing and made $100/hr to do social media consultations. That was the point he began to question the value of going to college. Why pay college tuition when most college graduates don’t get paid anything near $100/hr?
Listen in to find out how he created success for himself and honed his marketing skills to the point where he earned $10k per month. And did I mention, he’s only 21 years old.
