Dave Schools (@DaveSchoools) graduated from Grove City College in 2012 with a degree in Entrepreneurship. At just 27 years old, Dave is a world-class blogger, author, and entrepreneur.
In less than two years after college graduation, Dave founded Entrepreneur’s Handbook (EH), a Medium publication and blog with 22k+ followers, growing at 150+ new members every day. Amazingly, EH took off in less than 3 years from inception. Capitalizing off of EH’s success, Dave recently launched, Brew Projects, a community of students and mentors committed to bringing to life “side-hustles.” While building all these things, Dave is an Inc. columnist and published his first book, Runaway Millionaire.
In this episode, Dave and I dive into his story and discuss tons of actionable advice, such as:
- How to become a world-class writer, even if you hate writing
- How to find a skill and become an entrepreneur
- How to turn a poor grade in public speaking into the best college experience
- How to master relational skills
- How to monetize a 20k+ blog following and make blogging a career
- How to write an irresistibly clickable title to score a top-10 article on Inc.com
- How to launch your own blog and post on external sites without compromising Google rankings
- How “curating” rather than writing can serve as effective community builder
- How to market yourself with a 3.0 GPA
- How to turn leadership in student government into opportunities
- How to write vulnerably
- How to exploit a “first-mover” advantage in blog building
- How to capitalize on "megatrends" in blogging
- How to (tastefully) draw people in with "clickbate"
- How to be a model in college at a top 3 modeling agency (not kidding)
Dave’s “tweetable” advice for college students: “Once you get to know yourself, get to know others.”
