EP. 6 - 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. <a href="https://institrve.com/006-coming-full-circle/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Episode notes and transcript</a> <a href="https://www.mathtutor.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">MathTutor Educational Software, Inc.</a> is a leading publisher of self-study tutorial software for Grades 6-12 math. Contact Curtis through his <a href= "https://www.mathtutor.com/contact-us.php">website</a> 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. <a href= "https://alum.mit.edu/volunteering-educational-counselor">Volunteering as an MIT Educational Counselor</a> 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.
