Awesome for parents and students alike
This is an amazing informative and inspirational podcast. I highly recommend it for all parents students of any age.
Essential Listening!
For any parent or student about to undertake the college admissions process, Scott’s perspective is a game changer. It’s everything adults WISH they had when they were applying! He helps erase the fear-based, scarcity mindset that a particular college will make or break your future, and replaces it with a journey of discovery and being a smart consumer. Whether you consider your major creative or not, this is a great listen.
Vitally Important and Entertaining!
Scott and his guests are providing an extremely relevant resource to not just prospective college students, but also to those teachers and mentors working with them. Scott also happens to be a fantastic interviewer, and brings out the best in his guests. As someone who went to arts school more than two decades ago, the perspective of people who are “on the inside” of this segment of the industry is fascinating. Bravo Scott! Looking forward to where you are heading with the podcast!!
