Episode 4 - Rhoden Monrose '09
32m · PublishedIn this episode, Paul talks with Rhoden Monrose ’09. Rhoden is the founder and CEO of CariClub, a premium networking platform that connects young professionals to causes they care about through philanthropic engagements and nonprofit board service. Rhoden began his career after Trinity at CitiGroup where he traded interest rate derivatives. After five years on Wall Street, he knew it was time to change course and create a way to help young professionals like him who wanted to make a social impact but didn’t know how. Listen in as Rhoden walks us through his journey from what he expected would be a predictable path to a successful career in finance, but instead became an exciting opportunity to create social change in a way that no other company is doing.

Episode 3 - Liz Elting '87
50m · PublishedIn this episode, Paul talks with Liz Elting ’87. While in business school at NYU, Liz founded TransPerfect, a global languages solutions company. That was in 1992. In the past three decades, the company has grown to over 5,000 employees in 90 countries with $700 million in annual revenue. In 2018 she sold her stake to her co-founder. For several years before that, she was featured on lists of the wealthiest self-made women in America. Since the sale, Liz has turned her attention to philanthropy.
Listen in as Liz walks us through how she built a premier language services company at a moment when the growth of the internet and globalization of business created a demand for what TransPerfect was delivering: top-notch end-to-end language technologies and services. It’s a future that Liz could never have imagined for herself as a student at Trinity who struggled to decide whether her love of languages made for a practical major.

Episode 2 - Danai Pointer '07
1h 10m · PublishedIn our second episode, Paul talks with Danai Pointer ’07. She founded Bergen Consulting Group in 2018, an all-women’s strategic consulting business. She’s also the founder of TruNude, a women’s undergarment company that makes bras and underwear in a variety of skin tones. Recently she was named the communications outreach director for the Democratic National Committee. At Trinity, Danai majored in music with a focus on ethnomusicology, and minored in community action. And while many Trinity students have study abroad experiences, Danai’s undergraduate global research experiences took her from the Czech Republic, to Brazil, South Africa, and France (all in one year!).
Listen in as Danai walks us through how she built a startup that meets a deeply personal need for her customers, drawing on earlier experience as a data-driven communicator and champion for cultural institutions in her positions at New York City firms, part of Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s administration, and at Bloomberg Associates.

Episode 1 - David Schnadig '86
1h 0m · PublishedIn our first episode, Paul talks with David “Dave” Schnadig ’86, co-president at the Cortec Group and Trinity College trustee. At Trinity, Dave was an economics major and a double-minor in art history and religion. After graduating from Trinity, his path wound through consulting, the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, a stint at Lehman Brothers, and he eventually landed at Cortec Group, a private equity investment firm that has invested in some of the great entrepreneurial stories of the past few decades, including Yeti. Tune in as Dave walks us through the Yeti story—from burgeoning cooler company to a renowned lifestyle brand—and gives an inside look at private equity investing. Dave is a proud Trinity Bantam, but while many alumni show their Trinity spirit on hats or stickers, you’ll never guess where the Bantam has a place in Dave’s everyday life.
