Have you ever thought of following your passion in life? Pursuing a path that aligns with your core values may not look like the career journey you envisioned, but it will help you facilitate your personal growth, uncover your true identity, and find happiness in life. When you find the thing that brings you joy, you have to keep going and keep doing it.

In this episode, I am talking to the incredible Ethan Sawyer, best-selling author, mentor, and creator of CollegeEssayGuy.com, an online resource hub that makes college admissions accessible for everyone. Today we’re talking all about core values, discovering identities, and what this means for students. Ethan and I will even break down a real-life cold email that I sent to him years ago before working on his team.

What We Cover:

• Ethan’s journey to creating College Essay Guy
• Aligning your core values with your work
• Why you need to follow your bliss and then monetize it
• How to connect with people who are connectors
• Cold email Break down

“If there's something specific you're really into, just keep doing it, keep doing it, keep learning about it, and then show your work.” - Ethan Sawyer
