What It's About
Connecting sorority members across the country post-graduation.
Notes from Chris
Episode 2627
Today’s episode is part of a feature we call ‘Your First $1,000.’ As you might surmise from the title, this is all about how someone made their first $1,000. How did they get to that point? Not their first $100,000—that’s cool, but it would probably be a long story. One thing I’ve learned is that once you begin to earn real money, the steps required to go to the next level—whether it’s $1,000 to $2,000, or even to $5,000 or $10,000 are often easier than that first real paycheck. With that in mind, today’s feature delves into the story of a college grad who creates a mentorship platform, connecting fraternity and sorority members with alumni for career guidance. Let’s hear it from Ellis. I’ll be back at the end to wrap us up.SEE ALSO:
