In today’s show, Steve interviews Chase Lawson, Account Executive, Oracle NetSuite.

This show starts with Chase sharing his interesting backstory. Originally from South Carolina, Chase has spent a part of his childhood in New Hampshire and Pennsylvania. Chase decided to attend  Clemson University for his major in accounting and financial management. 

Chase came across YEAA in 2013 when he was in his senior year at Clemson. The opportunity to run a large business as a college student with zero financial risk had Chase all excited. And he immediately signed up for the internship.

Chase ended up having a blockbuster rookie year as he led a team of student painters to notch up sales of $140,000 and profits of $33,000. This incredible performance of his won him the “Manager of the Year” award at YEAA. 

After this stellar performance, it was hardly surprising that Chase stayed with YEAA for two more years. Apart from the monetary aspect, Chase shares how the opportunity to help others inspired him to come back for two more years.

In the next segment of the show, Chase gives us a peek into his life as an account executive at Oracle. Based in Austin, Chase regularly ranks among the top-performing account executive at NetSuite. Chase shares how his YEAA internship has helped him hit the ground running at Oracle.

Chase has also authored a book, Financial Freedom: Breaking the Chains to Independence and Creating Massive Wealth. Chase shares his big WHY that inspired him to write this personal finance book. 

We hope you enjoy this show!
