Decision Day is the resource I wish I had. As a class of 2022 high school graduate, I was lost and undecided during my senior year. I kept wondering "How does everyone else have it figured out?!" Rather than following the traditional path, I decided to jump right into the workforce. Through Decision Day, we can navigate adult life and gain clarity learning from successful individuals from various industries! Offering career exploration, advice for the professional world, and basic finances, Decision Day is the best resource for undecided and curious students!

Customer Reviews
So many paths now a days, WHY AREN’T WE HAVING MORE DISCUSSIONS LIKE THIS!?
Leah is a great interviewer; you can tell she does her research and aims to ask questions that will offer great insights. Love this podcast! Recommending to all the highschoolers in my life👏👏
Love this show!!
Leah’s career journey is SO inspiring! I’ve loved learning about specific things like job shadowing, networking, + the benefits (and drawbacks) of college from successful entrepreneurs. A must-listen for every teen ✨
I love it!!
There really is so many different paths to take after high school! I love that you explore these opportunities and let other high school graduates know it’s okay not to have everything figured out.
