Jason Naraz

Jason, a Pepperdine alumnus, came and spoke to our class yesterday regarding the importance of forming genuine connections. What I thought was VERY interesting about his speech was that he openly suggested we spend considerably less time on our studies and far more time doing "meaningful work"...namely, networking. He made it a point to speak with at least 3 highly successful people every week, while asking if they would be his mentor. Jason barely went to class and was lucky to study even 1 hour per week. He then went on to form docstoc.com and become a millionare. Go figure.
