We have never met anyone with as many ties to Cornell. And we are all lucky he does what he does for Cornell students and for entrepreneurship in general.

Zach Shulman: Undergrad, law student, professor and the director of Cornell entrepreneurship - we had a moment of "we're not worthy." However, that did not deter us from pitching our Cornell specific new business ideas. And he was the BEST. He is REALLY a lot of fun.

Tune in for great stories and a great story. There is no one else with this path.

So many exciting things happening on campus and you can see it all at:

You will be amazed by BOTH of Renu Thomas' careers. And we will all need a Renu in our lives in the years to come, if we're lucky.

With a masters in engineering, Renu  has taken a few incredible and unexpected paths.

She is the former Executive Vice President of Media Operations, Engineering, and Information Technology at Disney/ABC Television Group. She established herself as one of the most prominent women technologists in television broadcasting.

Now, she and her husband have started Thoro Care,  a social impact company helping to redefine the quality of aging by organizing, overseeing and providing support to seniors living independently in their homes. Thoro Care is a localized consolidated resource to help families navigate the complexities of non-medical services needed to age in place.

And to top it off, she is involved in alumni activities including the Operations Research & Information Engineering Advisory Board and the President’s Council of Cornell Women. 

Super. Woman. She's amazing and we loved meeting her. You will too!

BONUS EPISODE so you can hear from a high school senior right after she got into Cornell.

This is what it sounds like to get Early Decision in 2022!

Superstar and published author, Sammy Lockwood will carry on the Cornell legacy for her family. Her mom was our sorority sister and even though Sammy will have her own and very different experience, we cannot help but dream about all the things she will do that we loved.

Sammy is a poetry and music writer, crazy-active at her school, and has infectious energy. We could feel the excitement as she told the story of clicking on her acceptance just a few nights ago.

You can find her book here:

Think of your dream job - she had it. 
 
We could stop after telling you she was an NBC Page, because that is career goals for everyone. 

But!

We were also astounded by the foresight and navigation Lorin tapped into in her career during and after Cornell.
 
She is driven, creative, brilliant, and a great networker, which led to jobs with everyone  from Katie Couric to Susan Lucci. 
 
It's a story you don't want to miss, especially because she was also our Acting 101 partner - and you KNOW how that class went for us.

Talk about being a legend and leaving a legacy.

Supremely successful AD Noel, set to retire after this season, has shattered expectations on and off the fields.

We spoke to him the day before his replacement was announced and had the chance to learn about his incredible beginning, his highs and lows, and how he leads 37 different sports teams and coaching staffs. 

AND: he was an ALL-AMERICAN collegiate wrestler!

Also important to note that he is one of the most charismatic and fun people we have met.  You will love him too.

And of course, we quizzed him.

It's the scoop we have been dying to get!

One of the most talked about topics on our podcast and among our listeners is the state of Collegetown.

Enter Brendan Kempff

His recent Conell Daily Sun opinion piece on the state of Collegetown got our attention and we could not wait to talk to him. If you're wondering what it's like now and what the students want it to be- tune in.

When he's not writing for The Sun, he plays Sprint Football, enjoys his fraternity, he's a Hotelie, and next semester, he will learn how to sail. Not many universities offer all of that and not many students take advantage of it the way he has.

He's as funny as he is smart and goal-oriented - we loved him! You will too!
