In this video I share my experience as an alum who attended Brown University between 2008 and 2012 and whether I would do it all over again today.
Got a question about something I didn't cover in the video? Leave me a comment below!

What questions do you have about Brown that I didn't cover in the video? 🤔🤔🤔

Is it good school for medicine? Does it have a good Health science program?

I went to Brown in 90s. The thing about Brown is that you have to be super driven as the freedom and no of courses that you can take is mind bogging (and lack of advising too). It's easy to get lost (or wont take full advantage of the Brown experience) when you don't have an adventurous mindset. For me, I had a wonderful time there (so many classes to choose from -- I took history, art history, engineering, computer science, psychology, etc). Absolutely amazing

Thanks for the video. It’s very informative. Brown has “Brown Promises” since 2019. My daughter just got in to Brown. Brown pays for the portion that I cannot afford to pay.

Thank you for the video. My daughter was accepted to Brown. She has to make a decision the beginning of May.

I'm recommended to apply to Brown's 1-year master's program in social analysis, so I'm watching all the pro & con Brown videos on YT. Interestingly, your comment about stock market really caught my attention, & now I have so many questions about that. We are strangers, but I'd really like to pick your brain on that. You exude a terrific vibe, & I hope this comment is the start of a life-changing friendship. Cheers.

How do you recommend a college student start investing in real estate or stocks without making mistakes/losing money?

You will lost money in stock market no matter what. The main thing is to learn from it. If not, stop investing in stock market.

thank you! i was admitted to brown and uchicago, and i’m having a very hard time picking between the two. i have to commit tomorrow, and i’m so stressed.

@eflo2164 3 жыл бұрын

@deenky two very different yet prestigious schools! I don't think you can't go wrong with either. Chicago is a great city to experience. Let me know if you have any questions before making your decision! Good luck!

Did you leave Google? If so, why?

@eflo2164 3 жыл бұрын

Hey @Gary Wheeler! Thanks for watching my video! I'm actually making another video about this topic that I'll link here for you tomorrow but the TLDR is yes I did leave Google primarily because: 1. I saw colleagues and peers getting the golden handcuffs tightened around their wrists, which prevented them from pursuing other ambitions / aspirations they had in their career or life in general. And I felt that I was too early in my career to be constrained like that and 2. I worked on the sales team at Google for a new division called Google Enterprise at the time (now called Google Cloud) and was operating under a model that made it easy to execute a go-to-market strategy. Google has a big brand recognition, which made it easy for prospects and customers to talk / buy from us and I realized that I needed to learn how to develop and execute go-to-market strategies without that brand recognition or the resources that a big company provides. There is a 3rd reason too but I'll leave that out to see if I can entice you to watch the video tomorrow when I'm done editing it :). Thanks again for watching and lmk if you have other questions. - Eric

Hey Gary here's the video I mentioned yesterday. Video was getting long (KZfaq likes 7-12 min videos) so I excluded the 3rd reason but it was primarily wanting to try out different things in the first 10 years of my career so that I could spend the next 10 on the things I was good at and have high conviction that I found what those things were. Anyway here's the video if you're interested in watching it. Thanks again and I hope you and yours are healthy and safe! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mJZ0n7mbvsXHfXU.html
