In the spring of 2020 as the pandemic took hold, schools across the nation at all levels had to quickly shift from providing in-person learning to remote instruction. This affected the learning environment and opportunities for kids to excel and showcase their talent in college applications. As a result, colleges and universities across our nation had to re-adjust their admissions standards and revisit their processes.
In this podcast, Geoff Williams, 529 Specialist at John Hancock Investment Management joins us to share how today’s students can prepare for the shifting landscape of college admissions and how to impress admissions officers.

In the financial services industry, we often disclose that when it comes to investing, past performance is not indicative of future results. When it comes to investing in innovation, not only is this true but can provide a strategic advantage because you are investing in what CAN happen, not what HAS happened. In today’s podcast we explore the innovation premium that companies can offer by expanding their intellectual capital and investing in research and development. We talk about companies that have failed to innovate in the past, and the high price they paid for the lack of innovation, and what companies and industries are ripe for disruption in the future.
