In this episode, Nick Weaver, a 2015 Western Washington University graduate, shares his journey toward becoming a product owner and business analyst of customer systems at financial technology company, InDebted. Nick had a background in business and a focus on digital marketing when he started pursuing his degree from WWU. His drive for learning relevant skills and embracing new technology resulted in earning his first job and led to the pivotal moment when he was offered his current position. Nick says he broke barriers in the FinTech realm using knowledge he acquired from the WWU Marketing Department. His advice for potential and current marketing students is to retain what they learn in college and try new things, even allowing themselves to fail, so they can continue growing throughout their careers. Nick is currently working on updating communication systems for InDebted by finding solutions that will unify the company’s global communication strategy. Nick’s story is an excellent reminder that when we take advantage of every opportunity and push ourselves to continue growing, we can enjoy a career full of meaning and excitement.
