In this episode of The TechTual Talk, we're joined by Troy, the founder of Course Careers, who shares his inspiring journey from an aspiring entrepreneur at the young age of 18 to a successful business owner by 23.
Troy takes us through his decision to bypass traditional college education despite familial pressures, instead diving headfirst into the world of technology sales. He recounts how his initial role as a waiter and attending entrepreneurial conferences laid the groundwork for his career, eventually leading him to launch Course Careers—a platform that empowers individuals to start careers without a college degree.
We'll delve into Troy's innovative methods, his encounters with early challenges, and the explosive growth of his company. From leveraging job boards to embracing affiliate marketing, Troy reveals the strategic steps that turned Course Careers into a multi-million dollar success.
Join us as we explore the future of education and career-building through Troy’s pioneering lens. #tech #college #education
