Marjorie Hope: Why is connecting different nations so important today? Featured

Marjorie Hope graduated from Salisbury University and obtained post graduate certifications from the London School of Economics, and Harvard University. As a competitive gymnast, she owned and operated a large gymnastics school, embracing the synergy between mind, body, and spirit while incorporating the importance of being “fit for life” and that “more is possible”. In 2016 she founded America Connected, an international non-partisan, non-profit organization teaching people around the world how to connect through cultural diplomacy. They embrace an entirely non-partisan, non-political and proactive approach to bringing people of the world closer together and discovering that they share much more in common than what separates them.

Joel Dubin: How can college students evaluate potential employers to avoid dysfunctional companies? Featured

Joel Dubin is a retired cybersecurity consultant turned humor author and foreign languages enthusiast. “The 7 Habits of Highly Dysfunctional Companies” was inspired by stupidity he observed at companies who sabotage not only their security but their business, as well. The 7 Habits are the most common problems he saw at screwed up companies around the world. This isn’t a typical business book. It’s a humor book poking fun at office politics, bureaucracy and toxic work environments, all ingredients of successful dysfunctional companies. It’s sort of an anti-manual of how not to run a business. Joel is the author of both editions of The Little Black Book of Computer Security and has an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and a master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University. In episode 438 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Joel chose Northwestern University for his undergraduate and MBA, why he decided to write the book, “The 7 Habits of Highly Dysfunctional Companies”, how college students can evaluate potential employers to avoid dysfunctional companies, why so many companies are bad at customer service, how we can make companies more efficient, how we can eliminate unnecessary meetings....

Nathaniel Turner: What is the life template, and how does it work? Featured

In the fall of 1994, Nathaniel Turner learned he would become a father. Given the tumult of his childhood, Nathaniel was terrified that he would be a chip off the wrong block. Determined not to sentence his child to the same adverse childhood experiences Nate suffered, Nate did something novel. He studied backward design and how he might apply it to parenting. The backward design approach worked phenomenally for his son. In addition to raising a multilingual child accepted to 27 of America’s best universities, receiving a fellowship to earn his Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University in Electrical and Computer Engineering, and full-ride to NYU’s Stern School of Business, to name a few highlights, Nate discovered that the tools, techniques, and strategies used to aid him on his educational and life journey were applicable for Nate’s own life. Nowadays, Nate enjoys sharing what he knows about raising children and helping students get in and graduate from their dream schools with little to no debt. Equally important is that he gets to share with others how to design your life backward so that you can live your life just as you always imagined. In episode 437 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast,....
