She is currently a PhD Candidate at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology - one of the top engineering schools in Europe - where she conducts research on the role of culture in shaping sustainably-minded entrepreneurs and lectures on entrepreneurship and technology commercialization. Industry Overview: What do Management Consultant do? Management analysts, often called management consultants, propose ways to improve an organization’s efficiency. They advise managers on how to make organizations more profitable through reduced costs and increased revenues. What does their work environment look like? Management analysts travel frequently to meet with clients. In 2016, about 1 in 4 worked more than 40 hours per week. How do you become a Management Consultant? Most management analysts have at least a bachelor’s degree. The Certified Management Consultant (CMC) designation may improve job prospects. What additional skills that they typically don’t teach in school do you need? Communication skills, organization, past job experience, testimonials, ability to go out and get clients on own.

Employment of management analysts is projected to grow 14 percent from 2016 to 2026, faster than the average for all occupations.

	01 Apr 2018	EP021: Commercial Sales, Advertising, and Music Festivals w. Stephanie Rosa	00:47:16
Episode 21: Commercial Sales, Advertising, and Music Festivals w. Stephanie Rosa Featuring: Stephanie Rosa, Commercial Sales & Advertising Mentor Bio: Stephanie Rosa has been in medical device sales since graduating college from the University of Illinois. She quickly rose to be the #2 device representative in her company. Stephanie has worked in various sales roles within the medical world. After a year sabbatical to travel the world alone, Stephanie returned back into medical sales and began to pursue her passion within the festival and music industry. Stephanie now works full time in a corporate sales role, while also running a 40 person media team dedicated to music festivals. Industry Overview: What do Commercial Sales Professionals do? Wholesale and manufacturing sales representatives sell goods for wholesalers or manufacturers to businesses, government agencies, and other organizations. They contact customers, explain the features of the products they are selling, negotiate prices, and answer any questions that their customers may have about the products. What does their work environment look like? Wholesale and manufacturing sales representatives work under pressure because their income and job security depend on the amount of merchandise they sell. Some sales representatives travel frequently. How do you become a Sales Professional? Educational requirements vary for sales representatives and depend on the type of products sold. If the products are not scientific or technical, a high school diploma is generally sufficient for entry into the occupation. If the products are scientific or technical, sales representatives typically need at least a bachelor's degree. What additional skills that they typically don’t teach in school do you need? New employees may be trained by going along with experienced workers on their sales calls. As they gain familiarity with the firm’s products and clients, the new workers gain more responsibility until they eventually get their own territory. Strong social skills, understanding how to persuade, network, and get people to like you play a crucial role. What is the pay? The median annual wage for sales representatives, wholesale and manufacturing, except technical and scientific products was $57,140 in May 2016. The median annual wage for sales representatives, wholesale and manufacturing, technical and scientific products was $78,980 in May 2016. Future demand in marketplace? Overall employment of wholesale and manufacturing sales representatives is projected to grow 5 percent from 2016 to 2026, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Employment opportunities should be best in independent agencies, which operate on a fee basis and represent several manufacturers, instead of buying and holding the product they are selling. Overall… Job opportunities should be best for those with previous sales experience. Although the large size of the occupations creates many job openings, the relatively high pay will also likely attract a large number of applicants. US news rates a sales representative as # 4 in best marketing jobs which ranks them based on 5 categories ( salary, job market, future growth, stress, and work-life balance); with marketing manager, sales manager, insurance sales agent coming in 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively. Todd's personal opinion… If you love to talk to people, are personable, like to travel, are up for a little bit of a cut throat industry where the potential to make good money right out of College this could be right up your alley. I know the medium numbers is $78K for technical, BUT, I have quite a few friends that make well over 7-figures selling products only a couple years out of college. In fact, a good friend of mine in the bay area sells carpet and makes 160K per year... and he isn’t even on the top! It requires charisma, high energy, and you need to be good and persuading people to take action. Show Notes: [1:55] - Intro. [2:35] - Meet This Week's Guest... Stephanie Rosa! [3:38] - Commercial Sales Industry Overview. [8:03] - Stephanie's Industry Insights. [9:48] - How It All Started for Stephanie. [13:53] - Everyone Is a Sales Person.

[33:40] - Questions From the Teenage Mastermind Students! [45 :00] - Outro. Mentor's Key Points: EVERYONE is a Sales Person. Even if you don't find yourself working in a "Sales" position, you most definitely will find yourself selling SOMETHING at some point... most likely... YOURSELF! The key to sales success, however, isn't talking... it's LISTENING! Pay Attention to the Little Things You Like! If something sets off a curiosity of yours, dive deeper into it! You never know what big opportunities may form as a result of exploring an interest you have! Trust Your Gut! Nothing is permanent, so go with what feels right! If you want to switch up your path to better suit your interests, don't be afraid to take a leap of faith! What matters MOST is that you're constantly LEARNING!

	24 Jun 2018	EP028: How to Become an Engineer ft. Drew and Angela Munson	00:49:12
Episode 28: How to Become an Engineer ft. Drew & Angela Munson Featuring: Drew & Angela Munson, Material Science Engineers. Mentor Bio: Angela Munson grew up in Toledo, Ohio and got her bachelor's degree in materials science and engineering from THE Ohio State University. By far the coolest thing she's done is leaving her home state and traveling to new places. In 2015, she and her now-husband, Drew Munson, went on a sabbatical (self-funded, aka they quit) and backpacked around the world for 8 months! She now lives in Phoenix, AZ and is a process engineer at Intel on the most complicated manufacturing process known to man! Drew Munson met had the same job as Angela at Intel until recently he decided to go back to school and get his MBA. He got a full ride scholarship to ASU for his MBA. In addition Drew, one of my best friends… was actually a groomsman in their wedding recently… can be seen scaling thousand foot cliffs. In fact he rock climbed El Capitan a 3000+ foot cliff over the course of 3 days in Yosemite this past year. Industry Overview: What do Material Science Engineers do? Materials engineers develop, process, and test materials used to create a wide range of products, from computer chips and aircraft wings to golf clubs and biomedical devices. They study the properties and structures of metals, ceramics, plastics, composites, nano-materials (extremely small substances), and other substances in order to create new materials that meet certain mechanical, electrical, and chemical requirements. What does their work environment look like? Materials engineers generally work in offices where they have access to computers and design equipment. Others work in factories or research and development laboratories. Materials engineers typically work full time and may work overtime hours when necessary. How do you become a Material Science Engineers? Materials engineers must have a bachelor’s degree in materials science and engineering or in a related engineering field. Completing internships and cooperative engineering programs while in school can be helpful in getting hired as a materials engineer. What is the pay? The median annual wage for materials engineers was $94,610 in May 2017. Future demand in marketplace? Employment of materials engineers is projected to grow 2 percent from 2016 to 2026, slower than the average for all occupations. Materials engineers will be needed to design uses for new materials both in traditional industries, such as aerospace manufacturing, and in industries focused on new medical or scientific products. However, most materials engineers work in manufacturing industries, many of which are expected to have declines or little change in employment. Overall… Material science engineering which is a subset of mechanical engineering ranks # 1 in best engineering jobs based on 5 categories (salary, job market, future growth, stress, and work-life balance); with civil engineer, cartographer, and petroleum coming in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th respectively. Todd's personal opinion… Be careful if you are looking to get into this industry… The growth rate personally worries me at only 2%... I am sure other types of engineering jobs are out there with this degree just make sure you do your research. Artificial intelligence or machine learning will be disrupting many industries. You can learn more about that in episode 13 with Rosana Myers who raised millions. It is much easier to get a job and find work when the growth rate is above average. For example, nursing for episode #25 with Aaron Donze had a 31% projected increase… that means nurses will be paid more in the future and you will never have an issue getting a job. Financial advisor from episode 19 had a 15% increase. Show Notes: [0:53] - Episode Previews! [1:47] - Todd Intro / Episode Start! [2:33] - Meet This Week's Guest... Drew & Angela!

Mentor's Key Points: Engineering is Likely NOT What You Think it is! With so many different fields and career paths, it's CRITICAL you do your own research and look further into the day to day activities of a particular engineering job. Just because you hear one side of the puzzle, it doesn't mean it applies across the board! Explore Different Industries... and TRAVEL! Your life does not have to be glued to a single path! Take time to explore yourself, your environment, and the WORLD! Make New Friends! Make it a goal to make 10 new friends each semester! Doing so will explode your personal network, and will open your eyes to a much broader perspective of the world AND your community! Resources: More Information on this Week's Industry Analysis!

	24 Sep 2017	EP006: The Big Shift	00:45:21
Hello everyone, and welcome to the Student-Tutor Podcast! Is a "Career" a long-term thing? Once you find something you're GOOD at, do you focus on that? What if you find something you ENJOY, but you're not good at it... The commitment and responsibility associated with determining a "Career Path" can be nerve wrecking. Considering you'll spend years (even a decade) learning a craft and establishing a establishing a reputation, it's apparent why people prefer to get it right the first time! But... What if you do all of that and you find its not for you... You just don't enjoy doing it anymore. Maybe it's the level you're at? Some careers are simple and straightforward at first, but get exponentially more challenging and complicated as you go through the ranks. Maybe something has gone terribly wrong and you've lost a key reference or a lot of money! What do you do when you hit the bottom? Keep digging until you see it through, or find a new hole to dig? This week, we're joined by Student-Tutor Mastermind Mentor, Hiten Nainaney, as he shares his experience of multiple devastating financial losses, career path dilemmas, and an unexpected strategy for partnering with C-level executives at companies like Intel. The possibilities are endless! So, we feel it's best you learn from someone that's made it through a FEW of the struggles life likes to throw in our face! His perseverance and willingness to take risks allowed Hiten to become a master at key areas of balance in life. In this episode, you'll learn more about creating these essential balances, and build a path that's right for YOU! Time Stamped Show Notes: [0:00] - Previews & Show Intro [2:30] - Meet Student-Tutor Mastermind Mentor, Hiten Nainaney! [4:30] - Leaving finance to find a career worth working for. [7:30] - What happens after you lose $45,000? [9:30] - Using a side-gig you're passionate about to slide into big money conversations. [12:00] - One client loses Hiten $200,000 in a day. [14:15] - A hard decision to leave a lucrative job in finance. [15:00] - Realizing it's Now, or Never! [15:45] - Short musical break. [16:30] - Hiten's successful new business. [17:30] - Curiosity, and the balance that ties it all together. [20:15] - Voluntary solitude, and What is excited for in the next 5-10 years. [23:15] - Hiten's greatest advice for teenagers, and his best book suggestion. [28:00] - Actionable advice to help students Spark Bright Futures - Grab spiders! [30:45] - Questions from Student-Tutor Mastermind Students! [42:30] - Wrapup and review of Todd's notes [44:00] - Outro 3 Key Points: 1. Step outside your comfort zone! As Hiten mentioned in the episode, if you get too comfortable, you'll stop growing! Constantly challenging yourself and finding opportunities to do new things will make your life a lot more interesting, and allow you to continuously build new skills. 2. Focus on balancing what you like to do, and what you're good at! With every career, there will be parts you like, and others you don't. What you're good at and what you like doing are both VERY important things to consider when choosing a career path. Play towards your strengths, but allow yourself the opportunity to grow in other areas too! 3. Take time for yourself! Voluntary solitude gives you the opportunity to dive deep within yourself, explore curiosities, and build skills that are important to you. Hiten recommends doing this at least once per week!

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Student-Tutor Podcast! Have you ever wondered what you can do to get your teenager more motivated and help them discover their passions? This week we are joined by Dr. Jeffrey Smith, a licensed marriage and family therapist (MFT) of over 21 years; and past infantry man, sniper, and fighter pilot for the US Marine corps. Dr. Smith specializes in the area of performance enhancement strategies for athletes, business professionals, members of the U.S. Military and other performers.

Focus on what your student likes to do for "play" and identify how that can grow into a passion and career, then find the greater "category" of that interest. Ex. Video Games -> Computer Programing -> Technology 3. LOVE and accept your kids for who they are... don't force them into a lifestyle or path that doesn't suit them. Accept that most parents are not equipped to help their children with THEIR goals, then find them a mentor that is currently active and working in the field of your student's interest.

	10 Sep 2017	EP004: Making Millions with a 2.0 GPA	00:22:50
Hello everyone, and welcome to the Student-Tutor Podcast! Do you feel that a student's performance in school has a direct correlation or impact on the success they will have in life? If they get poor grades, are they doomed to be poor and unsuccessful forever? This week we are joined by Jeff Solomon, a living example of how success and happiness can be created, even if you finish high school with mostly C's and D's. In this episode, Jeff takes us through the story of how he went from struggling through high school to discovering entrepreneurship as a young adult... and he managed to become one of the BEST in the business. Time Stamped Show Notes: [0:15] - Intro [0:35] - Episode Previews [1:40] - Todd introduces Jeff Solman [3:30] - Jeff tells us his WHY [4:45] - The skills and knowledge that changed Jeff's life forever [5:40] - Jeff's first job making various plastic products, and his big "Aha!" moment [8:15] - Jeff describes how you can use failure as a tool to overcome fear [9:45] - The irony of Jeff's new teaching job [10:40] - The reason Jeff's bad grades didn't stop him from becoming successful [12:15] - Short musical break [12:45] - The pitfalls of standardization in today's schooling system [13:45] - Jeff goes to business school... and gets an F!

Don't be afraid to go off the "standard path." Students need to try new things! Don't worry whether or not you'll like it, or be good at it, or if it'll increase your chances of getting into college. 2. It's not about grades, it's about what you DO. Focusing solely on grades can seriously affect a student's confidence and self-worth. Students need to understand that grades are not what's going to determine the rest of their life. Instead, doing what they can with what they have is what will create lifelong success and happiness. 3. Understand that it's OKAY to fail. Failure is one of the greatest teachers in life. It's better to make mistakes and learn from them, than miss opportunities due to a fear of failure or rejection.

	08 Apr 2018	EP022: How to Become a Pharmacist w. Fazleabbas Poonawala	00:45:06
Episode 21: How to Become a Pharmacist w. Fazleabbas Poonawala Featuring: Fazleabbas Poonawala, Pharmacist Mentor Bio: Fazleabbas Poonawala is a board certified pharmacist with licenses for NJ and NY. I practiced retail pharmacy for about a year and then transitioned to work in the pharmaceutical industry, working in the field of drug safety for about 7 years. Now I help create and support the processes that ensure adverse event reports reach the company and are reported to worldwide health authorities on time. Industry Overview: What do Pharmacists do? Pharmacists dispense prescription medications to patients and offer expertise in the safe use of prescriptions. They also may conduct health and wellness screenings, provide immunizations, oversee the medications given to patients, and provide advice on healthy lifestyles. What does their work environment look like? Pharmacists work in pharmacies, including those in drug, general merchandise, and grocery stores. They also work in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. How do you become a Pharmacist? All pharmacists must earn a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) from an accredited school in order to practice. Postsecondary courses in your studies will include chemistry, biology and anatomy. Most students have three years of college experience or a bachelor’s degree upon entering pharmacy school. They must also be licensed, which requires passing two exams. Keep in mind In 2012, graduates entering the workforce had an average student loan debt of$123,063. What additional skills that they typically don’t teach in school do you need? Following graduation from a Pharm.D. program, pharmacists seeking an advanced position, such as a clinical pharmacy or research job, may need to complete a 1- to 2-year residency. Pharmacists who choose to complete the 2-year residency option receive additional training in a specialty area such as internal medicine or geriatric care. All states license pharmacists. After they finish the Pharm.D. program, prospective pharmacists must pass two exams to get a license. The North American Pharmacist Licensure Exam (NAPLEX) tests pharmacy skills and knowledge. The Multi-state Pharmacy Jurisprudence Exam (MPJE) or a state-specific test on pharmacy law is also required. Applicants also must complete a number of hours as an intern, which varies by state. What is the pay? The median annual wage for pharmacists was $122,230 in May 2016. Future demand in marketplace? Employment of pharmacists is projected to grow 6 percent from 2016 to 2026, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Increased demand for prescription medications will lead to more demand for pharmaceutical services. Overall… Pharmacists rank #20 in Best Paying Jobs. #23 in best healthcare jobs, and #45 in the best 100 jobs according to US news which ranks them based on 5 categories (salary, job market, future growth, stress, and work-life balance). With Anesthesiologist, Surgeon, and Obstetrician and Gynecologist ranking as the top 1-3 best paying jobs and dentist, physician assistant, and nurse practitioner ranking 1,2,3 in the healthcare industry. The number of pharmacy schools has grown in recent years, creating more pharmacy school graduates and therefore more competition for jobs. Students who choose to complete a residency program gain additional experience that may improve their job prospects. Certification from the Board of Pharmacy Specialties or as a Certified Diabetes Educator also may be viewed favorably by employers. Todd's personal opinion… If you are the studious type, like biology, chemistry but don’t want to go through the next level of rigor and time it takes to become a doctor… becoming a pharmacist might be right up your alley. To be honest though… Unlike episode #21 with Stephanie where we talked about sales, #20 where we talked with current Harvard Law student, Danica, who was a past about research analyst, and #19 with Reid Simpson who is a financial advisor…. (All of which encompassed the same type of mindset to a certain degree… loving to talk to people, market yourself, listening and then providing value… Pharmacy is not something I know too much about…. so, I'm excited to hear Fazleabbas' professional opinion!

To get noticed, you've got to become either the best at something that already exists, or, find something new and bring it to the forefront. Neither is EASY, but either can get you the recognition you're seeking. 2. Drop your image of perfection! Getting hung up on the details can slow or completely halt progress! By accepting yourself where you are now and enjoying the process, you'll complete more projects, and be more aware of the progress you're actually making. 3. Double down on your strengths Practicing self-awareness and identifying what it is you're truly GOOD at will allow you to double down on your strengths. When it comes to areas of weakness, Jesse recommends using your strengths to complement those areas and become more well-rounded.

	13 May 2018	EP026: Becoming The Boss Ft. Vice Principal, Chamille Schuck	00:40:33
Episode 26: Becoming the Boss Featuring: Chamille Schuck, High School Assistant Principal Mentor Bio: At 27, Chamille is an Assistant Principal for a charter high school that serves inner city students in the South Los Angeles area. She has a BA in English Education and Theater, a Secondary Teaching Credential, a MA in School Leadership, and her Administrative Services Credential. Chamille is young and fierce female leader at her school site, and in the Charter Organization as a whole! She takes great pride in the work she does coaching teachers to be more effective and culturally relevant in the classroom, and developing school practices to better meet the needs of 21st century learners. Industry Overview: What do High School Assistant Principals do? An assistant principal, also known as a vice principal, is an entry-level position in educational administration that helps the principal in the overall running of the school. The job is fast-paced and requires multitasking to hold a leadership position in interactions with students, teachers and parents. It may be stressful at times as well, as you will need to ensure the safety of the students and make sure that your school meets federal and state student/teacher performance guidelines. Some assistant principals view the role as a stepping-stone to becoming principal, while others are content to stay in the role for their career. If you’re a teacher who aspires to be an assistant principal, you’re in good company. A survey by the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP) found principals averaged 14 years as a teacher before moving into an administrative role. What does their work environment look like? In some school districts, assistant principals handle a specific subject area, such as literacy or math. Assistants may be assigned to handle student safety, provide student academic counseling, or enforce disciplinary or attendance rules. They may also coordinate buses or supervise building and grounds maintenance. Assistant principals at middle schools and high schools spend more time with disciplinary actions and less with instructional leadership. This is due to student's raging hormones and increased freedoms. High school APs have an extra level of responsibility with monitoring truancy as some students have cars and can leave campus. As a result, high school and middle school APs interact more with students and spend less time with teachers or in meetings. How do you become a High School Assistant Principal? Principals and vice principals typically need a master’s degree, preferably in educational leadership, education administration or related field, in order to qualify for the role. Many states require master’s degrees for certification. According to the BLS, about 45 percent of principals have master’s degrees and 13 percent have a doctorate. Most states require public school principals to be licensed as school administrators. The requirements for licensure differ between states. In addition, some states require principals to pass a test and take continuing education classes to maintain their license. Most states require a background check as part of the certification process. You do not have to have a school administrator license to be an assistant principal in a private school, but it can’t hurt. What additional skills that they typically don’t teach in school do you need? Effective communication skills Problem-solving skills Strong interpersonal skills Critical thinking skills Good judgment Administrative and organizational skills An ability to uphold rules and regulations while tolerating ambiguity What is the pay? Salaries for assistant principals vary based on geographic region and school district size. The National Association of Secondary School Principals conducted a survey in 2010 and found the average salaries ranged from $64,398 to $94,673 for middle school assistant principals and from $68,274 to $98,079 for high school assistant principals. Salaries on both coasts run higher than the middle of the country and in school districts with more than 25,000 students. The lowest salaries are found in the Southwest, and in school districts with less than 2,500 students. Future demand in marketplace? Employment for educational administrators is expected to grow at a rate of 6 percent from 2012 to 2022, according to the BLS. This is slower than average from other professions. The number of job openings is based on school enrollment, and while enrollments are expected to rise, state and local budgets are also a factor. It’s expected there will be more job openings in the West and South, and fewer openings in the Northeast. Overall… Pros and cons of being an assistant principal: Pros: Every day is different. The role is usually a precursor to becoming school principal. Spending time with children and making a difference in their lives. Cons: Little time for reflection or planning. Disciplinary issues can consume many hours in the day. Daily responsibilities can be all-consuming, and overtime is often necessary to catch up. Todd's personal opinion… If you like being a leader and helping others, a career in education could be for you! Roles in education administration, such as a high school assistant principal typically include a much higher base salary than teachers, but the work can be intense! If you've got the grit, there's even further room for advancement! Show Notes: [0:53] - Episode Previews! [1:47] - Todd Intro / Episode Start! [2:32] - Meet This Week's Guest... Chamille Schuck!

Mentor's Key Points: For education, and many other career paths, your undergraduate degree does NOT have to be from an elite college! For your undergraduate / bachelors degree, focus on finding a school that fits your lifestyle and goals, offers programs that accelerate you through career certification, and most of all... avoid overpaying for this first degree!! When it comes to finding your first job or getting into grad school, the college you got your BA from doesn't really matter if you're pursuing a master's degree or PHD. Structuring your education and career credential path strategically, with the right schools and programs, can save you years of time and potentially tens of thousands of dollars on tuition! Life is a Balancing Act! It might take a lot of work sometimes, but learning to manage your interests and priorities early on will allow you to do MORE of what you love, AND achieve higher levels of success! Diversify your lifestyle! Make friends, try new activities... don't be afraid to have a little fun! Start to create your own tribe of like-minded positive people. If people try to bring you down, don't let their negativity throw you off your path! Be Your Own Advocate! Take charge of your life, and become the one who determines your destiny! Don't depend on your mother, teacher, or the "education system" to build a path FOR you! Be willing to go out of your way to seek help and advice from teachers, peers, and mentors! Set a weekly goal to have a conversation with a different teacher or other adult on campus! Ask them for help with an assignment / test / project, or ask them a question about their life or career. Open yourself up to gaining insight and valuable advice from the people already close to you! Make a personal commitment to start asking questions, exploring your interests, and learning to LEARN for yourself! Resources: More Information on this Week's Industry Analysis!

	25 Mar 2018	EP020: How to Become a Market Research Analyst w. Danica Harvey (Harvard Law)	00:40:01
Episode 20: How to Become a Market Research Analyst w. Danica Harvey (Harvard Law) Featuring: Danica Harvey, Market Research Analyst Mentor Bio: Danica is a current Harvard Law student focusing her studies and extracurricular research on the realm of business and human rights. An Arizona State University alumna, Danica earned degrees in Chinese and Economics and moved to China upon graduation. After a semester of study at Nanjing University, she spent a few years working for a social enterprise dedicated to improving the livelihood of factory workers across China. She later moved to DC to work on trade facilitation and trade enforcement issues under the Department of Homeland Security. Part of her work at DHS included a portfolio on the government’s authority to take action against shipments of forced labor-produced goods. Both her experiences in China and in DC thus shaped her interests in business and human rights, corporate accountability, and the regulatory framework surrounding these issues. She intends to pursue a career after law school building bridge between corporations and human rights advocates, helping companies identify and rectify problems in their supply chains. Industry Overview: What do Market Research Analysts do? Market research analysts study market conditions to examine potential sales of a product or service. They help companies understand what products people want, who will buy them, and at what price. What does their work environment look like? Market research analysts can work individually or as part of a team, collecting, analyzing, and presenting data. Most market research analysts work full time during regular business hours. Some, however, work under pressure of deadlines and tight schedules, which may require additional hours of work. How do you become a Market Research Analyst? Most market research analysts need at least a bachelor’s degree. Some research positions may require a master’s degree. Strong math and analytical skills are essential. What additional skills that they typically don’t teach in school do you need? Strong organizational & communication skills. What is the pay? The median annual wage for market research analysts was $62,560 in May 2016. Future demand in marketplace? Employment of market research analysts is projected to grow 23 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations. Overall… US news rates a market research as #6 in best business jobs which ranks them based on 5 categories (salary, job market, future growth, stress, and work-life balance), with Statistician, actuary, and mathematician coming in 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively. Todd's personal opinion… If you are into the psychology of humans and how we act in very predictable ways and how analyzing data we gather on humans can allow us to make decisions to alter and help solve world problems you might love being a marketing analyst. Keep in mind though, you need to love being in front of a computer and geeking out at numbers, presenting them to the organization, and then watching the small change you make in the world based on the way you interpreted that data! I don’t know about you… but it kinda sounds cool! Show Notes: [1:55] - Todd Intro [2:35] - Meet This Week's Guest, Danica Harvey!

[43:50] - Todd's Highlight From This Episode! [45:05] - Outro. Mentor's Key Points: Get Started EARLY! As early as 8th grade, start exploring careers, internships, and other opportunities to learn more about yourself and the potential path you'd like to pursue! Understand the different factors that play a part in your college, scholarship, and career success, then execute a strategy based on your unique goals! Choose Your Classes and Extracurriculars WISELY! Instead of doing as many different things as you can, do one or two things EXCEPTIONALLY! Find a club you love and help take it to the next level, be the captain of your sports team and lead your team to a championship victory, get an internship at a reputable company, or, try embarking on your own entrepreneurial venture! Parents and Students Should BOTH Be Prepared for the College Transition! After students leave for college, a lot of their actions will be their own responsibility! Parents can still provide love, support, and the occasional care-package, but it's important for students to get exposure to being apart and holding themselves accountable. Traveling sports teams / clubs / etc. is a great way to do this! Resources: Are you interested in learning more and joining our community of proactive teens and parents for FREE?

	30 Apr 2018	EP025: Saving Lives From A Helicopter Ft. Flight Nurse Aaron Donze	00:36:56
Episode 025: Saving Lives From A Helicopter Ft. Flight Nurse Aaron Donze Mentor Bio: Aaron Donze graduated with Honors from Walsh University with a Bachelors in the Science of Nursing. He received a full scholarship for NCAA DII intercollegiate football and was an Academic All-American athlete. His experience in emergency medicine, heart and lung transplant, international life-flight, and helicopter flight nursing has led him to a life filled with action, adventure, and 5 days off per week! This year, Aaron plans to graduate with a Doctorate of the Nursing Practice and Acute Care Nurse Practitioner form the University of Arizona. He loves traveling, climbing, camping, exploring, and loving life! Industry Overview: What do Nurse Practitioners do? Nurse anesthetists, nurse midwives, and nurse practitioners, also referred to as advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), coordinate patient care and may provide primary and specialty healthcare. The scope of practice varies from state to state. What does their work environment look like? Nurse anesthetists, nurse midwives, and nurse practitioners work in a wide variety of healthcare settings, including hospitals, physicians' offices, and clinics. Most APRNs work full time. How do you become a Nurse Practitioner? Nurse anesthetists, nurse midwives, and nurse practitioners must earn at least a master’s degree in one of the APRN roles. They must also be licensed in their state and pass a national certification exam. College Niche ranks the top 3 nursing schools as: University of Pennsylvania, Columbia, and Georgetown. What additional skills that they typically don’t teach in school do you need? For the most part much like other professions in the health related fields the education is paramount of any soft skills outside of school. For some career options, like financial planning (described in episode 19), sales (episode 21), or consultant (episode 24); soft skills you don’t learn in school can be arguably more important. What is the pay? The median annual wage for nurse anesthetists, nurse midwives, and nurse practitioners was $107,460 in May 2016. Future demand in marketplace? Overall, employment of nurse anesthetists, nurse midwives, and nurse practitioners is projected to grow 31 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations. Growth will occur primarily because of an increased emphasis on preventive care and demand for healthcare services from an aging population. Overall… Nurse Practitioners rank #3 in Best Health Care Jobs which ranks them based on 5 categories ( salary, job market, future growth, stress, and work-life balance), with dentist and physician assistant coming in 1st, 2nd respectively. Todd's personal opinion… I am really found of this profession to be something I think many of you students should consider. If you are found of the healthcare industry, enjoy helping people, want to travel, and are looking for a stable predictable job with high income that will continue to be in high demand in the marketplace with great pay this is right up your alley. No won’t fully be able to manage your schedule like a financial advisor from episode 19 and take off to Europe tomorrow if you wanted to.. But the stability is nice if that is what you want.

	19 Nov 2017	EP013: Kick Ass Robotics w. Rosanna Myers	00:41:00
Hello everyone, and welcome to the Student-Tutor Podcast! What does it take to start a life-long career in a groundbreaking industry like robotics? Does one need to have a highly developed set of skills just to get started? Or, does it all come down to an individuals true grit and determination to succeed? This week, we're joined by Rosanna Myers, a true leader and innovator in the robotics industry! At only 30 years of age, Rosanna is the co-founder and CEO of Carbon Robotics which recently raised a few million dollars (exactly number cannot be disclosed yet), which makes advanced robotics dramatically more accessible with low-cost robotic arms and highly intelligent control software. Hailing from the English countryside, Rosanna got her start in engineering while rebuilding old race cars with her father and learning about industrial production. Since graduating Duke as Baldwin Scholar, she’s focused primarily in software development, with her work taking her everywhere from the jungles of Costa Rica to the electronics markets of Shenzhen, China.

Don't defer opportunities in exchange for convenience or fear of risk! 3. The way you view failure affects your entire outlook on life! Are you moving towards a goal, or running away from something you don't understand... or are afraid of? There's a difference between "having" a failure and BEING a failure.

	15 Jul 2018	EP029: How to Become a Software Developer ft. Sean Coleman	00:49:12
Episode 029: How to Become a Software Developer! Featuring: Sean Coleman, Software Developer & Entrepreneur Mentor Bio: Sean Coleman is a two time entrepreneur, having sold one company to Jobing.com. He has worked as a lead software developer for million dollar start ups, product manager for GoDaddy, and currently is a consultant for companies focused on software product development. He is also fortunate to share my experiences as an adjunct faculty at ASU! Industry Overview: What do Software Developers do? Software developers are the creative minds behind computer programs. Some develop the applications that allow people to do specific tasks on a computer or another device. Others develop the underlying systems that run the devices or that control networks. The following are examples of types of software developers: Applications software developers design computer applications, such as word processors and games, for consumers. They may create custom software for a specific customer or commercial software to be sold to the general public. Some applications software developers create complex databases for organizations. They also create programs that people use over the Internet and within a company’s intranet. Systems software developers create the systems that keep computers functioning properly. These could be operating systems for computers that the general public buys or systems built specifically for an organization. Often, systems software developers also build the system’s interface, which is what allows users to interact with the computer. Systems software developers create the operating systems that control most of the consumer electronics in use today, including those used by cell phones and cars. What does their work environment look like? Many software developers work for firms that deal in computer systems design and related services, manufacturing, or for software publishers. In general, software development is a collaborative process, and developers work on teams with others who also contribute to designing, developing, and programming successful software. However, some developers work at home. Most software developers work full time, and additional work hours are common. How do you become a Software Developer? Software developers usually have a bachelor’s degree in computer science and strong computer programming skills. Software developers also need skills related to the industry in which they work. Developers working in a bank, for example, should have knowledge of finance so that they can understand a bank’s computing needs. What additional skills that they typically don’t teach in school do you need? Analytical skills. Developers must analyze users’ needs and then design software to meet those needs. Communication skills. Developers must be able to give clear instructions to others working on a project. They must also explain to their customers how the software works and answer any questions that arise. Creativity. Developers are the creative minds behind new computer software. Detail oriented. Developers often work on many parts of an application or system at the same time and must therefore be able to concentrate and pay attention to detail. Interpersonal skills. Software developers must be able to work well with others who contribute to designing, developing, and programming successful software. Problem-solving skills. Because developers are in charge of software from beginning to end, they must be able to solve problems that arise throughout the design process. What is the pay? The median annual wage for software developers, applications was $101,790 in May 2017. Future demand in marketplace? Employment of software developers is projected to grow 24 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations. Employment of applications developers is projected to grow 31 percent, and employment of systems developers is projected to grow 11 percent. The main reason for the growth in both applications developers and systems developers is a large increase in the demand for computer software. The need for new applications on smartphones and tablets will help increase the demand for applications software developers. Overall… Software Developers are ranked: #1 in Best Technology Jobs #1 in Best STEM Jobs #1 in The 100 Best Jobs - Of ALL JOBS! Job prospects will be best for applicants with knowledge of the most up-to-date programming tools and for those who are proficient in one or more programming languages. Todd's personal opinion… Programming is one of the best jobs there is. I wish I would have started learning programming when I was in middle school! I recommend everyone looks into programming!

	15 Oct 2017	EP009: Internet Safety and Digital Literacy	00:32:10
Hello everyone, and welcome to the Student-Tutor Podcast! Does the thought of your child browsing the internet sometimes make you uncomfortable? What happens if they connect with someone dangerous... or worse... what if their activity DESTROYS their REAL-LIFE reputation?? This week we're joined by Diana Graber, the founder of CyberWise.org and CyberCivics.com. These organizations are dedicated to helping adults and students learn digital citizenship and literacy skills. As long-time media producer sporting an M.A. in “Media Psychology & Social Change,” Graber is a regular contributor to the HuffPost and top news sources. In addition to serving as an Adjunct Professor of Media Psychology at the graduate level, she teaches Cyber Civics classes to middle schoole students at Journey School in Southern California. Graber was recently honored with the “2017 Media Literacy Teacher” award from the National Association of Media Literacy Education (NAMLE), and as a result of her work, Cyber Civics is currently being taught in public and private Waldorf school across the US, Canada, and the U.K! Time Stamped Show Notes: [1:30] - Todd intro [2:00] - This week's guest, Diana Graber [3:30] - Diana explains digital literacy [8:00] - The new tools of the digital age [12:30] - How Diana made her transition into the digital age [15:00] - Materials covered in Diana's 3-year digital literacy course [19:00] - Advantages of being online [21:15] - Resources Diana recommends for students [22:15] - Diana's epifiany / the results of Cyber Civics [27:45] - How to get in-touch with Diana [28:00] - Diana's greatest piece of actionable advise [30:30] - Outro 3 Key Points: 1. Digital literacy can save you from misinformation and preserve your reputation! Many forms of content online are NOT regulated, therefore it's CRITICAL to check sources and fact-check information. In addition, the things you post can affect your chances at college and certain careers... so share WISELY! 2. Digital age tools can be used for good... or evil! Understand that everything you share online is received by REAL PEOPLE. Sharing useful content and becoming a PRODUCER instead of just a CONSUMER can provide real value to the world and set you apart in job and college interviews! 3. Critical thinking skills are the key! Developing the skills that will allow you to validate content legitimacy and prepare a strategy for creating and sharing content offers long-term benefits across your ENTIRE life! As she mentioned in the episode, implementing the digital literacy classes ended up INCREASING standardized test scores SCHOOL WIDE!

	17 Sep 2017	EP005: How to Argue and WIN in the Corporate World	00:33:27
Hello everyone, and welcome to the Student-Tutor Podcast! Does the thought of starting a new business from scratch and figuring it out as you go just not sit well with you? Would you prefer to travel along a proven and much more secure path instead? As fun and exciting as entrepreneurship can be, it's certainly not for everyone. Some people prefer the more "traditional path" where after high school they go to college, obtain internships, and land themselves a modest salary working for a major corporation. This week, we're joined by Student-Tutor Mastermind Mentor, Blake Riedlinger, as he shares his experience taking, and dominating this previously described "traditional path." With a resume featuring positions at multiple fortune 100 companies like 3M and American Airlines, Blake has the knowledge and experience required to properly advise students considering a career in big-business after high school! Time Stamped Show Notes: [0:15] - Intro [0:30] - Episode Previews [1:30] - Todd introduces Blake Riedlinger [3:00] - Blake's come up in the corporate world [4:15] - Entrepreneurship vs the corporate route [5:45] - Insights from visiting 22 countries in 2 years [6:30] - The consequences of ignoring warning signs [8:45] - Following your curiosity and intuition [9:30] - Blake's best advice on winning arguments [13:00] - Defining value - Blake's big Aha! [15:30] - The habit of introspection in an ambiguous world [16:30] - Short musical break [17:15] - Planning, backup planning, and the risk of EVERYTHING working [18:00] - The #1 book all teenagers need to read [19:15] - Staying humble and investing in yourself [21:45] - The dangers of becoming complacent [23:00] - Questions from Student-Tutor Mastermind Students! [30:45] - Why you need to start exploring your curiosities NOW! [31:45] - Outro 3 Key Points: 1. Constantly be thinking of how you can provide VALUE! Identifying opportunities to give to others in the form of products, services, or other exchangeable means, will provide you the ability to create win-win situations. These win-win situations are what creates long-term success and happiness. These win-win situations are what creates long-term relationships, success, and happiness. 2. The best way to win an argument... is to AVOID it! Creating tension, especially in the corporate environment is not good for anyone! If you recognize a conflicting plan or idea from someone who's also responsible for making an important decision; approach them, and settle the conflict before the decision needs to be made. 3. Start exploring your curiosities TODAY! As you grow older, you only gain MORE responsibilities. Being in high school, you have time on your side and need to leverage it to your advantage! Spend at least an hour each day exploring something you're curious about. It doesn't have to immediately turn into your life's purpose... but who knows... it might!
