Author: Luke Bayard: Entrepreneur, Business Strategist and Techie July 8, 2016 Duration: 1:00:20

Today's guest is Jessica Santana, who is the co-founder of New York on Tech, a startup where it is there mission to prepare the next generation of technology leaders.

 

Jessica is a great example of leaving corporate to pursue a startup. And what makes her story so interesting is that her experiences working as a minority in corporate inspired her to develop New York on Tech. Not to mention her parents are immigrants that came here to help their family achieve the American dream.

 

We cover the topics such as:

  • The gig economy and why parents should be paying more attention to it.
  • How the education system is broken simply based on the fact they limit students by not offering enough hands on learning.
  • The need for students to be exposed and inspired by potential opportunities that they have post graduation.
  • In the long run, why skills matter the most over the theoretical learning?
  • How to create a business model in ed tech?
  • And much much more.

Thank you as always for listening, you guys are the best. Enjoy!


Luke Bayard, an entrepreneur and business strategist with a deep technical background, hosts Cult of Startup Podcast. Here, the polished facade of success is set aside to make room for the real, unvarnished origin stories. Each conversation is a journey back to the chaotic and formative early days, where guests recount everything from horrible miscalculations and embarrassing stumbles to those rare, awesome breakthroughs that changed everything. Luke’s approach is deliberately open-ended and nothing-off-limits, digging into the specific reasons-often messy and unexpected-behind an entrepreneur’s eventual trajectory. The result is an hour that feels less like a formal interview and more like hanging out with insightful startup buddies, where the exchange is as loose as it is informative. Tuning into this podcast means getting a candid education in business building, one grounded in lived experience rather than theory, where the lessons are found in the raw details of what actually happened.
