What Are Getchogrindup and the Young and D.U.M.B. Podcast 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.
