99% of young people aren't living right. As college students and young professionals we're taught to chase what looks valuable to everyone else: attending the best university, landing the best internships, and accumulating "status." After living in a society obsessed with external validation, we've decided to change the narrative. Through conversations with experts, entrepreneurs, professional athletes, and people just like us, we're creating a community for young people to look past the shallow lifestyle and understand what it actually means to live a fulfilling life.

    What really happens inside Yale's secret societies? In this episode of OTL at Night, Mason, Ejiro, and Kelvin break down the truth about Yale secret societies, including the tap process, the "scramble," the infamous Skull and Bones, and more. If you've ever wondered: What is a secret society? How do I get into a secret society as a Yale student? How does the tap process work? Are societies actually that secret? Was Kelvin really in Skull and Bones? This episode is for you! After being in society as seniors at Yale and going through the tap process, we decided to share a bit more insight into the whole experience.

    Nico Brown: From Zero Career Yards to #1 WR in College Football

    The most unbelievable season in college football you’ve never heard of... Before this year, Nico Brown was a name almost nobody in the sport knew. Then, in his senior season at Yale, he became the highest graded wide receiver in the country according to PFF, went for 1,085 yards, earned All-American honors, won an Ivy League championship, and became one of the most sought-after players in the transfer portal — now headed to Stanford. This is the story behind that rise. We talk about: The injuries and setbacks that kept him off the field for three years His mindset and confidence that separates him from the rest What changed going into 2025 How Yale produced the #1 WR in America What it feels like to go from “unknown” to the best in the nation If you enjoyed this episode, follow Off The Leash Podcast for insights from top Ivy League athletes, experts, & entrepreneurs.
