Turning An Alternative To College into A Road To Success with David Lisowski
Jumping right to college after high school and pursuing a degree that might not be our passion but can help us land a well-paid job has been branded as the right thing to do for years. The fact that even knowing that a college degree won't translate into a good job, students sink into massive debt is not discussed enough; it's broadly accepted and, in many ways, expected.
Our guest, David Lisowski, went for the college experience and got his Bachelor of Arts degree from Penn State Abington, and although he doesn't regret getting it, he doesn't use it in his day-to-day professional life. David is a Podcast Host, Video Strategist, and the Owner of Foxal, a company dedicated to helping marketing managers get their video strategies ahead of the curve.
In this episode, David kindly shared his journey from working at a hotel as a Banquet Server to being a Marketing Strategist and then leaving college to pursue a career in music, then going back to college, and finally starting his own business. We talk about college's alternatives and the massive amount of knowledge the internet offers for a fraction of the price people pay for their higher education.
We also talk about how hard it is sometimes for entrepreneurs to explain following their gut feels better than the traditional path, where David sees Foxal is heading this year and the rewarding feeling of succeeding on what we love to do.
Some Questions I Ask:
- Could you tell the audience about your first experience at The Buck Hotel as a Banquet Server (3:35)
- What was the hardest part of deciding to leave college? (11:23)
- Are you happy with the decision to go back and finish college? (20:15)
- If you were to advise a young lady, a young gentleman who just finished is about to finish high school and is unsure about what to do. What would it be? (35:11)
In This Episode, You Will Learn:
- About the value, every job brings, even though we can't see it at that moment (4:21)
- How David built his path in creative and artistic roles that would help him massively years later (7:06)
- The differences between landing a job thanks to a college degree several years ago and now (22:20)
- About the different ways to niche down in a business (32:04)
