Kai McKinney and Tommy Hillyer have been entrepreneurs for as long as they can remember. A year ago, the duo was part of the founding team of Launchpad OSU, an event where college students were able to build and pitch their own businesses during the course of a weekend. Now, they are building HELM, a challenge based hiring platform that helps businesses hire based on skill-not the old fashioned resume. Tommy and Kai join the show to discuss their perspectives on college as well as how to be unconventional. Music by Joey Warnkin.
