We live in a society where, more often than not, we're told we absolutely need a college degree or we'll fail. That is a terrifying expectation to live up to, with financial burdens that can haunt you for years after you get your coveted degree. And here's the thing—not everyone can afford to go to college. And college isn't for everyone, so why aren't there more stories in the news about people who are successful without a stuffy degree to validate them?

Karalyn Zamora—Serial Entrepreneur - CEO of Aesthetik Marketing, Co-founder of Recoop and Director of Digital Marketing & Growth at Gravity Blanket—is clearly an accomplished, intelligent, and very successful person. From her early successes at American Apparel to launching her own six-figure businesses, she explains how people are always surprised when they find out she doesn't have a fancy college degree.

So how did she reach her success? Listen on to learn about her career journey, her decision not to get a degree in marketing, and all things social media!
