The Challenge of Covid 19

After losing my corporate summer internship this past summer due to COVID 19, I felt incredibly shocked and full of grief that an amazing opportunity had just been ripped away from me. In a time of great uncertainty and adversity, I made the choice to create opportunity to myself. SUMMR 2020 is a self started internship: made by me, for me.
‍
Having many interests beyond the scope of my coursework at school, I decided SUMMR 2020 would be a time to explore my instinctual interests that I have ignored for far too long. The goal of SUMMR 2020 is self-discovery, building real-world skills, and genuine connection and learning from others. This goal led me to interviewing highly respected business professionals, entrepreneurs, innovators, unconventional change-makers, and much more. Here you will find their stories and advice that they have given me in which I now have digested and returned to you.

Curious how I built SUMMR 2020? (Spoiler: it wasn't my idea!)

Part of building SUMMR 2020 was to get #educated. I read (and listened) to A LOT of books. Same story for podcasts and articles. Many of the resources were referred to me by the intelligent business professionals and entrepreneurs that I spoke to over the last few months. Other resources are just my personal favorites that I've found over the years... These resources educate, inspire, and energize. I am delighted to share them with you... make good use of them! ;)
