After his college graduation, Mike hit the road in an RV to interview leaders across America about how they got to where they are today. On today’s episode I talk to Mike Marriner, President and Cofounder of Roadtrip Nation, about how that powerful trip led to the development of a social enterprise and the opportunities it creates for students across America to take road trips that empower them to define their own roads in life.
We’re exploring:
- The library of 8K videos over 18 yrs that they have created and 3 of Mike’s most memorable interviews
- How a huge time-out after medical school and one long drive created a movement!
- Why social media as a tool could be holding you back from making connections
- How Mike got past the gatekeepers and got his foot in the door with some important people
- A big lesson he learned about documenting his ideas
- How an opportunity from Nike’s Vice President propelled their enterprise forward
- The release of the book, Roadtrip Nation: A Guide to Discovering Your Road in Life, and what that did for their visibility
- How they have incorporated a project-based learning curriculum and what their non-profit is doing for underserved communities
- One of the MOST IMPORTANT factors in career success and how it is not equitably distributed
- What Mike believes everyone needs on their career journey and how Roadtrip Nation can help make that connection
- And more!
