This week we take a P.L.U.N.G.E. with Riley

Riley is just a “normal” guy who happens to run a hilarious podcast called “The Plunge”

He is a student at Plymouth State University studying Management

But when he's not being a student he is a co-host on “The Plunge” podcast where he and a group of his friends talk about a variety of topics such as sports, life, and everything in between. It's all a bit of banter between the guys

They’ve just started the podcast a couple months ago and just like how we were, have now split up as the 3 guys are back to college. So we wanted to wish them good luck!

If you wanna get in touch with them, the best place is on Twitter @PlungePodcast

This week we escape D.E.B.T. with Jay

Jay is currently a freelance photographer, but has lived a life of many adventures

Jay is originally from Venezuela and wanted to complete his mother’s dream of him becoming a doctor so he studied physics in the United States

As Venezuela’s economic and political situation worsened, Jay’s father could no longer pay for Jay’s education. He was told he needed to find a way to keep his US Visa to stay in the US

Jay saw med school as too much debt (almost $1.6 million) and proceeded to work in finance

As Jay’s work life turned from excitement to working so hard he almost wanted to kill himself, he thought back to when he was a young boy at Disney World with a disposable camera in his hand. Now he is able to cultivate that passion into an income and is now killing it in the photography world working for brands like Red Bull, Nike, and Tesla.
