In this special episode, created by one of our student podcast fellows, NYU student Sandra Cai interviews Alexandra Debow, CEO and co-founder of swsh, a platform for shared albums of live experiences. Alexandra studied across three of NYU’s global locations and leveraged as many resources as possible during her short time in school. As a student, she began building and creating and hasn’t stopped since, eventually leaving school to pursue her business. Then, they discuss Alex’s top tips for aspiring entrepreneurs, followed by a lightning round where Alexandra talks about her sources of guidance and inspiration.
