-: Rollins is, it was a great experience.
I had been to multiple colleges
before Rollins throughout my military career.
And I struggled in college before I joined the military,
because I never felt connected with why I was there.
I never felt connected with the teachers,
I never felt connected with the purpose,
I was, for a long time, in college
because it was the socially acceptable thing to do.
Rollins was the first college I had ever experienced
that I felt purpose in, and I felt benefit from.
Every class I had,
I learned the most I had ever learned in that subject.
So whether it was entrepreneurial finance, or
social entrepreneurship, or entrepreneurial marketing,
that teacher taught me the most I had ever learned
in that subject before.
And
they taught me from
a startup standpoint, which was huge,
being able to look at marketing from a startup standpoint
versus looking at marketing from, I just got hired
by this huge firm and I have an endless budget, et cetera,
and somebody's gonna tell me what to do.
Two totally different things.
It's night and day.
So being able to look at all of those subjects of business,
and starting a business, from that beginning standpoint,
and from that managerial standpoint,
was really what
made it amazing.
