In these "Meet the Host" episodes, each of our current hosts will introduce themselves and share with our audience a little about their own personal first-gen stories.

In this episode, you’ll hear about Dan's first gen journey from when he first moved to Cleveland, Ohio, from the east coast, and how his life was radically changed forever. He will talk about the many different people and opportunities that came along that led him to excel in high school, attend multiple colleges and universities, and ultimately attend and graduate from an Ivy League university with no debt. Dan truly believes that the power of mentorship goes a long way and hopes you’ll see that too, after hearing his story.
