Dream Shakerz Weekly Shakedown 5-15-21

In this episode, we connected with Keenan D. Williams, a Y combinator alumn, and  founder of startups such as Rezi & Co, Stratum, and YourDealClose.com. During the show, Keenan discussed the importance of self-awareness in navigating professional and personal journeys, how Rezi & Co  was created and how the real-estate startup emerged unscathed despite the effects of the pandemic, and finally his aspirations for Stratum and how he believes the new startup will redefine advisory services for incipient companies. As always, we'll also be sure to cover this week's opportunities for minority students in the Level-Up!-Content Strategy & Business Development Intern @ SpotifyInternship Location: RemoteLink: https://bit.ly/3wmfK48Data Analytics Apprenticeship @ GoogleProgram Locations: New York City, Atlanta, and ChicagoLink:https://bit.ly/3f1IQzSProduct Intern @ New York TimesInternship Location: New York, NYLink: https://bit.ly/3oBDNcG-Dream Shakerz IGLink: https://www.instagram.com/dr3am_shakerz/  

Om Podcasten

Welcome to the Dream Shakerz Podcast, our weekly show that covers technology, venture capital, and professional development from the vantage point of an ex-banker whose since switched to overseeing operations at a startup and a former management consultant whose in the midst of transitioning to graduate school to study human-computer interaction and design. As young black men, we realized that there was a void in regards to content creators who came from impoverished backgrounds but have also found success in professional spaces while staying true to who they are as people. We want to inform you, our audience, that your beginnings should not rule out certain career paths and that professional success doesn't necessarily mean you have to cut off all cultural ties. Given our success in plotting a course from public housing units in the Bronx to programs at Harvard, we believe we can effectively speak to this need.
