What Are GetChoGrindUp and Young and Dumb Trying to Do?

Justin Nguyen tells Carolyn Kiel that his two projects split the map for students. GetChoGrindUp is the traditional path: internships, studying, finals, and a job after graduation. The Young and D.U.M.B. podcast, short for Dedicated, Up-and-coming, Motivated, Bold, is the other path: influencers with tens of millions of followers, startup CEOs who have raised a million dollars, and people paid to play video games. Both are meant as a blueprint. Nguyen, co-host Gary, and Nguyen's girlfriend Michelle run GetChoGrindUp as a community, with their own videos and LinkedIn posts plus a Medium blog by people who have actually gotten the internship or climbed the ladder. They refuse to fake years of experience they do not have.
