So you’ve got the degree… now what? In this episode of the How You Go There Podcast, we’re talking directly to recent college grads and those about to graduate who are wondering how to bridge the gap between academics and real-world success.
👥 Hosts Scott and Linda get candid about what college doesn't teach you—like how to network, communicate with confidence, build leadership presence, and actually get hired. It’s all about self-awareness, initiative, and how you show up, not just what’s printed on your diploma.
