The Restless Millennial

Thanks for joining me on The Restless Millennial Ben Simon!

In 2013, 19-year-old Ben experienced a huge tragedy. His father was diagnosed with cancer and died later that year at the age of 49.

Because his father didn't make it to his retirement, Ben developed a new lease on life.

He wanted to make sure he loved his work, so that way he'd have no regrets if he suffered a similar fate. Both Ben's parents were elementary school teachers, and Ben was well on the way to becoming a teacher himself.

But after his father's death he decided not to pursue a career in traditional education.

Ben, a hardcore music fan and talented guitar player, started Ben Simon Guitar Lessons in 2016. Since then he's built his business to over 70 weekly clients.

Early on, Ben taught guitar during the day and was prepared to work the night shift at a local grocery store. However, his business took off so fast that he never had to get a second job.

I wanted to get him on The Restless Millennial to share his emotional story as well as to inspire youth to pursue their passions without quitting their day jobs.

Thanks for coming on The Restless Millennial today Charles Javelona! It was a pleasure to learn about what you're doing through Univjobs.ca to help young people find employment opportunities. 👔

Univjobs is a job sharing platform that gives college/university students and recent graduates employment opportunities that require little-to-no prior experience. 😱

If you are a recent graduate, you are probably familiar with the sentence "3-5 years experience required." That's not the case on Univjobs. Employers are not able to post a job posting if the position requires previous experience. ✔️

Charles believes in the power of youth and is a strong advocate for young people in the workplace. He said companies should hire more young people because they're motivated and willing to learn. Plus, they probably don't have the bad work habits that more experienced people might have. 🤔

This is a MUST WATCH episode if you're a recent graduate who's fed up with going through countless job postings on Indeed, Linkedin or Monster. Charles also gives us some great tips to help young people land their dream jobs post-graduation. 💯🎙

Thanks for joining me on The Restless Millennial @ptrochaniak. We had a great conversation about killing it at your internships, start-up culture and powerlifting 😄

Patrick landed an internship at Microsoft while he finished up his university degree. In the eight months he was there, Patrick made connections that helped open doors for him after his internship was done. ❗️

One of the biggest takeaways from this interview was an analogy Patrick used to describe his work ethic. As a competitive power-lifter, Patrick lives his life like he trains for lifting - always setting higher goals for himself. 💪

He lives his life in the extreme, and that's the reason why he's been successful, so young. Great to talk to you man! 💯 Stay tuned for TRM #19 on all your fav podcast apps!

Thanks Nicholas Arnold for joining me on The Restless Millennial today 🙌🏻

On this episode we talked about leadership, goal-setting and using your talents to influence and inspire.

Nicholas has always been talented in the arts. At 14, he directed an award-winning documentary about a friend with muscular dystrophy. Since then, he's written in a number of publications, wrote and directed more films and has created a one-man show in honour of late comedian Jerry Lewis 😊

His latest venture is public speaking. Impossible dreams is a speech he wrote that focuses on inspiring youth to follow their dreams and become leaders in their communities 🏡

What's up hustlers! Stefan here. Today I had the pleasure to speak with Paul Deng, Founder of Passionfruit Inc.

Passionfruit is an up-coming social app that connects people with others who share the same passions. The most shocking feature of the app? There are NO profile pictures.

Paul says the one of the problems with most social apps like Tinder and Bumble is that they focus on quantity, not quality. People swipe right and left on hundreds of profiles solely based on physical appearance.

Passionfruit is changing the game by fostering quality relationships built on one thing that defines us: our passions. The app is set for full beta launch in late September, but you can test out the early beta on Google Play. If you want to see more of Paul's tips for building quality relationships using Passionfruit visitpassionfruit.me ☺️👍

What's up everyone, Stefan here. Today I'm happy to welcome Travis Fonderson on The Restless Millennial. Travis is a Finance student at Wilfred Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario and the Director of Young Funds Program, an educational program that aims to help and educate young people on the importance of managing finances.

Travis has been saving his pennies since he was 12 years old and now helps others get started with investing. Travis says investing is not complicated. You just have to educate yourself and only invest what you're willing to lose. Travis teaches this lesson and more on today's episode of The Restless Millennial.

Check out Young Funds Program at www.youngfundprogram.com to watch video tutorials and read Travis' comprehensive guides to investing.

Let's be honest. Millennials have a bad reputation. We're here to change that. TRM is a business and lifestyle podcast about young people who love the hustle.

In this episode, Lucas Picciollo ofSleepFuture.com dropped by to tell us about his plans to change the way humans sleep forever. Interested?
