Today's guest, Jim Schuman, is originally from St. Charles, Illinois and served as a PCV in Costa Rica 1989 to 1991. He shared many of his stories including how he navigated the mental challenges of service, how his small school in Guanacaste won the national soccer championship, and his unique decision to extend his service in another country (Chile). We also explore his journey to earning an MBA from the University of Illinois, his career with Cisco that took him to Australia where he's lived for the past 17 years, and how Peace Corps prepared him for life as an entrepreneur. To wrap things up, Jim shares some excellent advice he’d give his younger self during his time in service.
