Host reunites with his Educational Counselor decades after graduation and discovers some surprises.
Guest: Curtis Blaine, MIT Class of ’67, Course 15 and 21B, Baker House.
What if I challenged you to start a software company and keep it cash flow positive 40 years later? There's a catch though. You are the only full-time employee and you can only hire teenage summer interns. Meet the MIT alumnus who accomplished this feat. I know because I was one of those interns.
Episode notes and transcript
MathTutor Educational Software, Inc. is a leading publisher of self-study tutorial software for Grades 6-12 math. Contact Curtis through his website if you'd like to help take his ambitious new math portal from prototype to reality.
Per MIT's website: "As advocates and ambassadors for MIT, Educational Counselors (ECs) recruit, interview, and respond to the concerns of admissions candidates within communities across the country and abroad. Uniquely positioned to put a human face on the Institute, ECs encourage and assist students and their parents in discovering MIT's educational, social, and extracurricular opportunities."
Call to action:
1. MIT Alumni – Sign up to become an Educational Counselor. More ECs are needed to accommodate increasing undergraduate applications.
Volunteering as an MIT Educational Counselor
2. MIT Undergraduate Alumni - Contact your EC from years ago and say, "Hello!" Your EC will be thrilled to hear from you. You never know what you'll discover.
