    Coming Full Circle

    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.

    Welcome to Institrve!

    t = 0. It all begins somewhere. MIT is a bewildering place, synonymous with seemingly impossible innovations. Behind strokes of genius are human beings who had to confront their fears, overcome challenges, and ultimately find the courage to be themselves. This podcast explores the diversity of the human experience. By hearing the stories of others, we just may find a piece of ourselves and be inspired to transcend our own limitations.
