Chasing Lightning
A podcast by and for college (or rising ones!) students starting big things. Remember that innovation-adoption curve? You fall at the *very* end of it. You're innovative. Early adopting. Visionary. You want to become someone who will perform at an optimal level in your arena of life now and in your career.
We have conversations to help you do that: helping you live slow, move fast, and start things so that you can do it sustainably. Every two weeks (Mondays at 9 AM EST) we dive deep into topics ranging from character and health to cultural events that matter for the future to insights from those on our level to beyond who have started things to me trying to trying to make it through the semester... this is chasing lightning.

How to Unlock Purpose in Our 20s w/ Mridul Prasad (6-Figure Startup Student-Cofounder) | CL08
⚡ Hey Chasing Lightning Fam! ⚡
In today's episode, we are joined by our FIRST returning guest—Mridul Prasad, Co-Founder of Startup Collegiate Consulting. Y'all enjoyed our last episode so much that we sat down and talked about finding purpose through the grind of college and juggling starting brands/startups, what I have learned about starting things on the podcasting side, and how this even ties into our apartment search. This is an episode you don't want to miss!
P.S. Mridul breaks some major news on what the next BIG step of his startup is going to be so make sure to tune in to hear what that is!
~ Sending peace your way
