Can the YEAA internship have a truly transformational impact on your life?

On today’s show, we interview the incredible Blake Johanson who shares with us his distilled wisdom on building your confidence, and being adaptable. You will also learn how the YEAA internship helped Blake land his dream internship.

Blake interned with YEAA in his freshman and sophomore year in 2020, the year of the pandemic. He talks about tackling naysayers who tried to demotivate him from trying something new.

His conviction paid off big time as Blake ended up running a $100,000 business and earning $16,000 in profits.

Currently in his senior year at MSU, Blake is interning with Upper Deck, a sports entertainment company that deals in sports cards.

He walks us through the interview process, and how he beat hundreds of applicants to land the coveted internship.

This is a show you do not want to miss!
