About this Episode

Praxis Alum Casey McGoff left college for a better route. Now, as Sr. Supply and Chain and Sales professional at the high growth start-up Temperpack, he decides which college grads not to hire. He shares his advice to young people, and parents and educators too.

Discussed:

  • Casey’s story pursuing autonomy, and the day signing his withdraw papers
  • What’s the biggest assumption young people have about how to forward in their lives?
  • If you want to be an architect, become a real estate developer
  • Pursuing the “why" behind a career path, rather than the job title
  • Doing what’s in front of you, really well.
  • What’s a more creative question for parents to ask teens, other than “what do you want to do?” or “what major do you want?”
  • What to do instead of college - getting hired without a degree
  • You can’t steer a ship that’s not in motion
