Another amazing week where we take you back in time a bit to introduce you to my good friend and mentor Chase Gaiefsky. He was of the first people I met when I got down here to South Florida for college. Chase really opened my eyes to what was going on & how to make the most out of my new environment.
Chase talks about his background, including being born in South Florida, going to NSU on an academic scholarship, and pursuing a real estate development master's program. We discuss the importance of putting oneself in positions of opportunity and being around people who are doing what you want to do. The conversation also touches on the decision-making process for young adults after high school, the challenges and opportunities of college life, and the importance of practice and repetition in developing skills for business and entrepreneurship.
