There’s that old line, 'Those who can, do; those who can't, teach', but that’s a bit of a fallacy, and Joe's guest this week is proving that. His name is Jim Hunter, and he’s been teaching entrepreneurs for decades at the Lubar School of Business at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. But over the course of his entrepreneurial career, he’s founded and run multiple companies and held the roles of CFO, vice president, and director, among others. Jim has an interesting idea; he believes that college is the perfect time to start your business, and he’s written Graduate a CEO to explain why.

The influence of art in society has been discussed since the first brush strokes were ever made. But since then, much has been debated like Elvis’ swiveling hips, violence in video games, or sexuality on TV. But the course of time has proven that art does have a positive impact on the world. And Joe's guest this week, Shreya Patel, is proving that by creating content that's educational and entertaining, she can empower underdogs everywhere. Shreya is an actress, filmmaker, and the founder of Window Dreams Productions, the award-winning production house that specializes in impact production.
