Start It or Scrap It
Business Truths Students NEED to Hear (LIVE at Neumann Goretti High School!)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This is a special one.
For the first time ever, Start It or Scrap It was recorded LIVE in front of a full student, alumni, and faculty audience at Saints Neumann Goretti High School in South Philadelphia.
We were invited by School President Timothy Cairy to come in and not only record an episode but also teach students how a podcast is actually made: from setup, to lighting, to marketing, to the conversation itself.
During this event, we answered tough questions about:
- how to start a business at any age
- what entrepreneurship is REALLY like
- how to build discipline and avoid burnout
- why most startups fail
- how to pick the right business ideas
- leadership, mindset, patience, and risk-taking
- what we both wish we knew at 17
A HUGE thank you to the people who made this live episode possible:
Timothy Cairy
Carter Karpinski
Nikki Kane
The staff/alumni/student body who attended our event at Saints Neumann Goretti High School
Your hospitality, energy, and engagement made this one of the most meaningful episodes we’ve ever recorded.
