D'Shawn van Kerkhoff is a 21 year old student that recently took a solo trip from the Netherlands to board a cruise with people he had only met online. Sounds concerning, right? For D'Shawn, it was perfectly aligned with his future goals and an opportunity he wasn't going to let sail past. 

This episode is a great conversation on how to leverage your professional passion to connect with people that share a common purpose. D'Shawn shares insights into:

• how he leveraged LinkedIn in a way that counters how many approach connections
• how to build confidence by facing the lions versus running away
• the unique approach of his program of study and how they are approaching business partnerships to benefit the student, business, and school
