In this episode, Lisa and Ramon discuss:

• The importance of real-world work experience in building employable skills
• How to approach job searching and internships with a strategic mindset
• The unique challenges and strengths of neurodivergent students in career development
• Why traditional career services often fall short in preparing students for the real job market

Key Takeaways: 

• Applying to hundreds of jobs (e.g., 500+) with a generic resume rarely yields results; students must instead craft targeted, high-quality applications with a strong business case for themselves.
• Any job, including so-called “little” ones like lifeguarding or concessions, teaches transferable skills—such as teamwork, responsibility, and pressure management—that employers value and belong on a resume.
• Students should proactively connect with professionals on LinkedIn and through school-specific portals to build relationships with potential employers early.
• For neurodivergent students, building confidence involves reframing perceived weaknesses as strengths and learning not only how to interview but also why each step in the process is important, thereby fostering independence and long-term career success.

In this episode, Lisa and Kolby discuss:

• Challenges young adults face when transitioning from school to meaningful work
• How parental involvement influences early career outcomes
• Shifts in modern job search strategies and market expectations
• Role of communication, curiosity, and empathy in career conversations

Key Takeaways: 

• Parents often misinterpret their child’s job search struggles as laziness when, in reality, outdated strategies and a broken formula of “work harder = success” demand a shift toward empathy, curiosity, and tactical guidance.
• With student-to-career counselor ratios at colleges averaging 1,900:1 and most of those professionals rooted in academia, colleges are structurally unequipped to offer relevant, personalized career direction, making parental support and external coaching essential.
• Asking young adults what problems they want to solve, rather than what job they want to do, reframes career planning around motivation and impact, leading to more aligned and fulfilling professional choices.
• Employers prioritize real-world experience—such as internships, leadership roles, volunteering, and personal storytelling—far above GPA, meaning students who diversify their experiences outside the classroom stand out more than those who focus solely on academics.

• Evaluating college programs for women pursuing STEM degrees
• The impact of institutional culture and faculty representation on female STEM persistence
• The role of clubs, communities, and scholarships in STEM success for women
• Tools and strategies for in-depth college research for female STEM students

Key Takeaways:

In this episode, Lisa and Brianne discuss:

• Navigating unspoken rules in the modern workplace
• Building emotional intelligence and soft skills for career growth
• Adapting to emerging technologies like AI in career planning
• Overcoming generational biases and workplace stereotypes

Key Takeaways: 

• To succeed in both interviews and long-term career growth, young professionals must focus on developing strong communication abilities, demonstrate consistent curiosity, and embrace self-driven learning rather than relying solely on technical expertise.
• Gen Z faces invisible hurdles in the workforce, such as being penalized for frequent job changes, perceived entitlement, and lack of industry experience, all of which can hurt their credibility before they even have the chance to prove themselves.
• Understanding and applying emotional intelligence—through self-awareness, emotional regulation, and empathy—can significantly enhance workplace relationships and leadership potential, often more than mastering technical tasks.
• Confidence in advocating for oneself during salary negotiations and career conversations comes from deliberate preparation, including practicing responses, understanding personal financial needs, and learning to communicate value with clarity and assertiveness.

In this episode, Lisa and Jeremy discuss:

• Navigating the tension between building a career and staying connected with family
• Developing intentional family habits to foster communication and connection
• Mentorship and parenting as parallel paths of leadership and influence
• The evolving dynamics of parent-child relationships over time
  
  

Key Takeaways: 

• Regularly engaging in open-ended, judgment-free conversations—such as a structured “questions game” with mutual vulnerability—can significantly strengthen emotional connection, trust, and communication within families.
• By identifying and committing to a few foundational priorities (like faith, family meals, and academic responsibility), families can create a value-based structure that helps manage time and reduce overwhelm amid hectic schedules.
• Proactively setting boundaries, building routines, and reassessing time investments can help parents transition from guilt-driven reactions to intentional presence and sustained connection with their children.
• Incorporating diverse mentorship sources—like books, podcasts, and public figures—alongside personal storytelling empowers parents and teens to grow through both external insight and lived family wisdom.

In this episode, Lisa and Jennifer discuss:

• AI as a formal academic major and how it intersects with other disciplines
• Strategies for aligning student strengths and interests with suitable college majors
• How to assess readiness and fit for AI-related college programs and careers
• Cultivating adaptable, future-proof skills in a rapidly changing tech landscape

Key Takeaways: 

• While only a dozen U.S. universities currently offer formal AI majors, these programs are rapidly evolving and can be categorized into technical, interdisciplinary, or business-oriented tracks, with new offerings emerging every year.
• Pursuing an AI degree means committing to rigorous foundational coursework in advanced math (like calculus and linear algebra), computer science (such as algorithms and data structures), and electives in machine learning, ethics, and human-centered disciplines.
• Students unsure about committing to AI can gain clarity and assess fit by engaging in real-world experiences like hackathons, data-driven research projects, or intensive summer programs such as PROMYS, which challenge problem-solving and data interpretation skills.
• Even if a formal AI major isn’t available, students can still prepare effectively for AI careers by strategically choosing AI-related electives within computer science or data science programs that align with their interests and long-term goals.

In this episode, Lisa and Melissa discuss:

• The misconceptions and realities of pursuing a music career
• The value and limitations of majoring in music at college
• How parents can support teens responsibly pursuing creative paths
• Building sustainable and financially secure careers in the arts
  
  

Key Takeaways: 

• Majoring in music is often unnecessary, and sometimes unhelpful, for students pursuing contemporary music careers, who instead benefit more from learning entrepreneurial skills like music production, video editing, and social media marketing.
• Many successful musicians build income through diverse streams like collaboration, licensing, freelance production, and music business work, not just from their music.
• Early hands-on experience in music production, collaboration, and entrepreneurship helps students determine whether a professional music career is right for them before committing to a college major or expensive program.
• A helpful question to guide college decisions is: "What are you hiring a college to do for you?" Focusing on outcomes like networking or skill-building rather than simply pursuing prestige.

In this episode, Lisa and David discuss:

• Evolving expectations in college admissions
• Challenges in assessing academic readiness amid grade inflation, and how some colleges are responding
• Increased reliance on standardized, verifiable academic indicators
• Strategic adjustments needed for competitive application success

Key takeaways:

• Colleges increasingly expect students to submit AP exam scores for each AP class listed on transcripts to verify true academic mastery beyond inflated grades.
• Objective academic benchmarks—like AP exams, competitions, and certifications from Schoolhouse.world—are filling the gap left by discontinued SAT Subject Tests.
• Students without AP access, including those in under-resourced schools or homeschooling, can use Schoolhouse.world or CLEP exams to demonstrate subject proficiency.
• The selectivity of a student’s intended major—not just the college—can significantly affect how much weight objective academic data carries in admissions.

 
“Now, when you take an [AP] class in high school, an A in that course does not necessarily reflect content mastery anymore, and college admissions officers will even say this.” – David Blobaum

About David Blobaum: David Blobaum is a nationally recognized expert on standardized exams and college admissions. He graduated from the University of Chicago with honors from both the college and his major.

In this episode, Lisa and Tara discuss:

• Navigating cultural, generational, and personal differences through intercultural competence
• Building self-awareness as the foundation for meaningful cross-cultural understanding
• Creating opportunities for teens to develop global and human skills in everyday contexts
• Connecting intercultural experiences to long-term success in education, careers, and relationships

Key Takeaways: 

• Intercultural competence includes understanding one’s cultural values and norms and using that awareness to interpret and empathize with others’ differences, not just across nations but including neurodiversity, socioeconomic background, and generational gaps.
• Teens can gain intercultural skills without traveling abroad by participating in local experiences such as taking inclusive classes, hosting exchange students, or attending language immersion camps.
• Intercultural learning is most effective when combined with intentional reflection or mentorship to help teens make meaning from their experiences and apply the lessons in other contexts.
• Skills developed through intercultural experiences — like empathy, emotional intelligence, and flexibility — are increasingly valued by colleges and employers and can significantly enhance a teen’s college application and workplace readiness.

 
“Developing intercultural competence, a big piece of it is developing self-awareness — like, who am I? What groups am I a part of? How have those shaped my values, my thinking, my interests?” – Tara Harvey

In this episode, Lisa and Phil discuss:

• The increasing competitiveness of college admissions and how students can stand out
• College affordability challenges and emerging solutions for middle-income families
• How military-affiliated education pathways like Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) are evolving in today's landscape
• Strategic early planning in high school to align students with admissions and career opportunities
  
  

Key Takeaways: 

• Pursuing ROTC scholarships can significantly increase a student's chances of admission at selective colleges by placing them in a smaller, less competitive applicant pool with added institutional incentives.
• ROTC programs can drastically reduce or eliminate the financial burden of college, with full-tuition scholarships, summer stipends, and guaranteed high-paying jobs post-graduation.
• Starting as early as 9th grade, students should build a competitive ROTC profile by demonstrating academic strength, physical fitness, leadership, and a consistent interest in service.
• With the potential reduction in need-based financial aid at elite institutions due to shifting federal funding, ROTC offers a strategic alternative for middle-income families seeking affordability without compromising on school quality.

“If you're an ROTC student, you can get nearly all of your college paid for.” – Phil Black

About Phil Black: Phil Black has built a remarkable 30-year track record that includes roles as a Division I college athlete, Navy SEAL officer, Goldman Sachs investment banker, entrepreneur, firefighter, and two-time Shark Tank contestant.

For the past 12 years, he’s helped hundreds of students gain admission to service academies, ROTC programs, and top-tier colleges. His twin sons are graduating from Yale (Navy ROTC), one son is at the U.S. Naval Academy, and his youngest is a high school sophomore.
