Matt Brown returns! Why you need to understand that college is a business

1h 26m · Artrepreneurs · 18 Aug 08:00

EP 126: Let's face it... Millennials and Gen-Z are delaying, if not giving up on, many common adulthood decisions that came far more naturally to the generations before them. Marriage, home-buying, investing, saving for retirement, and having children are seen by some as nearly impossible due to the economics of today's day, and one of the big drivers in delaying those decisions....student loans.

The crushing weight of 5-6 figure debt for 18-22-year-olds is often more than they can handle after the fact. This is why preparing for college finances is so important; whether you're a high schooler planning your college route, a currently enrolled university student, a recent graduate, or a parent preparing for their kids' journey in the higher education process, please understand one basic principle; college is a business, and your student loans are paying the bills.

Today, we're bringing photographer, Matt Brown, back to the show to have an honest conversation about rising student loans, not relying on debt relief programs, applying for grants and scholarships, and the people you need to rely on to make the most out of your college experience.

The resources you seek are already there

EP 130: We all seek resources to help us in our journey; be it people who affirm that what we are doing is the right thing, or people who pick us up when we're down, or who keep motivating us forward when we're resting on our laurels. This episode is about recognizing that what you seek is already in your corner. It may manifest itself in different ways, but it is not far away. I dedicate this episode to all of those who have supported me over the years, particularly over these past couple of months. I am so grateful for the clients, colleagues, friends, and family in my corner. I hope this helps someone out there.

5 Ingredients in a recipe for success

EP 129: In today's episode, I am citing the film, A Million Miles Away, in which the protagonist's father gives his son 5 ingredients in a recipe for achieving success. Now regardless of whether you buy into this recipe is of no concern, but maybe if you have yet to build your own recipe, this will help ignite that spark, because those who often achieve their goals, have very clear visions and outlines for how to approach their path.
