Today's guest, Elon Kline, is one of these recent grads, and in the wake of the COVID-19 economy, he lost his job before even starting! He then did something he never thought he would have to do — He moved back home with his parents. After wading his way through infinite job applications with student loan debt looming, Elon decided to take a stab at professional speaking, a dream he always harbored. It paid off when he landed his first speaking gig, and he knows he is just getting started. In this episode, Elon gets vulnerable and sits down for a live coaching session with Chris.
