What your students are facing
Finishing feels impossible
Money, doubt, and life pull students toward the door. Many are one bad semester from quitting.
No map after graduation
Students are told to dream big with no idea how. They need a realistic picture of building a life.
Belonging
First-gen and underrepresented students often wonder if they fit. Marc did too.
The right voice for Colleges & Universities
Marc was rejected for seven student loans with one year left in his degree — exactly the position some of your students are in right now. A stranger's letter got him across the finish line, and he's spent his career paying it back. He's spoken at Kettering University and to student founders across Michigan.
Talks tailored for Colleges & Universities
One Year Left
The story of almost not finishing — and the mindset that gets students to graduation.
Build What's Missing
An intro to entrepreneurship for students who think founders are a different species.
Commencement: Pay It Forward
A send-off about the kind of success worth chasing — and worth sharing.
What your audience walks away with
Every talk is built around your event and your people — not a stock deck. Here is what a room full of colleges & universities can expect to leave with.
