An honest, unfiltered conversation about all things careers and student life. We will be interviewing students and career professionals, talking about their likes/dislikes, and helping you avoid the mistakes they made! Maybe also help you discover a new dream that you want to chase...
Hello all! I'm going solo for this one. In this episode I touch on a variety of careers that you can do to make money while travelling. Some of these careers may require extensive education, but others may be just a short course to get started. Some of these careers you might not have considered, so stay tuned!

EP6: Future Nova Scotian Hollywood Star And Dogecoin Lover - Toufik Koustik
Oh boy this was a fun one. My buddy Touf joins me in the studio as we talk about his grind to become an actor and a booming tech titan at the same time. We talk about our aspirations, how we define success, life goals, and how our goals are often criticized by the general population because "you'll never make it".
And is dogecoin the future? Is insurance a scam?
By the way, my apologies for the terrible audio quality. I'm an amateur.

Hey kind folks. STOP asking your friends to hook you up, and start asking Jean-eva! A local matchmaker from Nova Scotia, she's built up a massive following over the past 3-4 years. In this episode we talk about her life before matchmaking, how she got into it, and how she hustled to grow and scale her business.
