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.
