The Early Insight: Recent Episodes

Brandan Schrader

The Early Insight was created with the crossroads, obstacles, and pitfalls that awaited me in my 20’s in mind. It’s easy for young men in today’s society to feel, as I once did, without a sense of direction, purpose, or a sense of how to capitalize on the skills they possess or the opportunities that lay before them. We’ll talk with guests that successfully navigated these challenges, how they did it, and explore avenues of industry that will excite, enlighten, amaze, and hopefully inspire. Best part is, you’ll feel like your doing so with a group of your buddies around a fire or in a pub.
