Welcome back to the podcast! Today's episode is hosted by Tom Campbell, a former admission officer and now a college counselor and content creator here at College Essay Guy. This show often reminds us that beneath the essays, the deadlines, and the color-coded college lists, this whole thing is really about people — and today's guest is exhibit A. Quick disclaimer: this is a feel-good episode. Very "This American Life." If you've ever needed your faith in public education restored, cancel your other plans. In a content landscape where some of the loudest admissions "experts" run on rage-bait and loose credentials, my guest is the opposite. And his name is David Cha. In this episode I finally sit down with David. We get into: David's five-minute life story: how a kid from Koreatown, one youth pastor's quiet act of grace, and a hard left turn away from a communications career set David on the path to public education  What it took to build the AVID program from scratch in 2001, overcoming early skepticism to help first-generation students thrive The evolution of the Bears University Seminar (BUS) and how a team of committed educators scaled a small library workshop into a massive success story Which CEG resources have quietly become game-changers inside BUS — yes, including the 250 copies of College Essay Essentials he bought as gifts for this year's graduates. And his hard-won advice for any public school educator trying to build a college-going culture against very long odds Oh, and at one point David volunteers his own high school SAT score toour dear listeners our dear listeners. I'll let him tell you that one.  David Cha is a veteran educator with 27 years of classroom experience and holds two Masters degrees from Biola and Grand Canyon A recent recipient of the Mayor of Downey's Outstanding Citizen Award, David has built a legacy of impactful college-prep programming at Warren High School. In 2001, he launched the school's AVID program with just 30 students—an initiative that now serves nearly 600 students locally and has expanded districtwide down to the elementary level. David is also the founder of the Bears University Seminar (BUS), a summer essay and application bootcamp established in 2019. What began as a small workshop has grown into a massive success story, recently guiding a cohort of 237 seniors to an incredible 1,373 college acceptances across the UC and CSU systems and beyond. Whether you're an educator, counselor, parent, or student, I think you'll come away reminded that while admissions can feel impossibly complex, changing a student's life often starts with something beautifully simple: one person taking the time to invest in another. Let's get into it.  We hope you enjoy.    Play-by-Play: 3:52 – What is David's background?  4:59 – What inspired David to change his career plans and become a public school teacher? 7:50 – How did David build and fund a brand-new student support program from scratch? 13:30 – How has the program expanded across the school district over the years? 14:41 – Why did the team design their student framework to focus on long-term life fulfillment rather than just getting into college? 16:52 – How can a dedicated mentor completely change the academic trajectory of a struggling student? 20:46 – What words of encouragement does David offer to educators who are feeling overwhelmed or losing faith in their work? 25:25 – How did David turn online writing exercises into a structured summer essay curriculum for his students? 32:20 – What are the college acceptance statistics for the bootcamp students? 34:51 – How does David help his students continue their college application journeys independently after the summer workshop ends? 35:33 – Tom shares his own background story of how he first started working with College Essay Guy  37:26 – How can strong student advocacy help an applicant's unique story stand out during the review process? 38:23 – How can collaborations with local CBOs and college representatives help first-generation students access high-quality resources? 43:16 – What are the biggest cultural and mindset shifts required to help students navigate the college application process more effectively? 44:25 – How can schools guide first-generation families on college and class choices as early as possible? 49:19 – How can counselors help students highlight collaboration and teamwork on their applications? 50:42 – What are the practical logistics and daily structure of David's student bootcamp? 58:03 – How can schools leverage real admissions officers and guest experts to inspire and guide applicants? 1:01:39 – What has David learned over the years from putting together his program?  1:05:56 – Closing thoughts and advice for counselors    Resources: CEG's College Admission Nutrients (aka The Great College Application Test)  Paying for College in Four Steps  College Essay Guy's Values Exercise College Essay Guy's Essence Objects Exercise  College Essay Guy's 21 Details Exercise College Essay Essentials The Matchlighters Scholars Program  College Essay Guy's Supplemental Essay Guides    College Essay Guy's Personal Statement Resources College Essay Guy's College Application Hub

In this episode, Dr. OiYan Poon talks with Drs. Courtney Luedke and Erick Montenegro about why higher education needs a cultural shift in how it understands student success. Instead of locating problems within students, the conversation highlights how everyday routines, policies, and decision‑making structures often create hidden barriers that limit students' ability to reach their academic goals. Together, they call on institutional leaders, policymakers, and educators to redirect their problem‑solving energy toward examining—and redesigning—the systems that shape student pathways and determine whether students are positioned to thrive.

Story Transcript:Hu: A nap sugarai melegen simogatták a kis lakónegyed utcáit.En: The sun's rays warmly caressed the streets of the small residential neighborhood.Hu: Nem messze a játszótér zajától, ahol gyerekek kergetőztek nevetve, Imre ült az íróasztalánál.En: Not far from the noise of the playground, where children chased each other laughing, Imre sat at his desk.Hu: Ám az ő fejében a nyár melege helyett inkább a félelem és izgalom kavargott.En: However, instead of the warmth of summer, his mind was swirling with fear and excitement.Hu: Készülődni kellett a tanév végi projektbemutatóra.En: He needed to prepare for the end-of-year project presentation.Hu: Imre sokat várt ettől a projekttől.En: Imre had high expectations for this project.Hu: Tudta, hogy ezzel minden eddigi munkája mérve lesz.En: He knew that all his previous work would be measured by it.Hu: Ő volt a legszorgalmasabb a csoportban, de most különösen érezte a nyomást.En: He was the most diligent in the group, but now he especially felt the pressure.Hu: A feladat egyszerűnek tűnt: mutassa be az év témáját, amely nem más, mint az „Új, kreatív módszerek a tanulásban”.En: The task seemed simple: to present the year's theme, which was "New, Creative Methods in Learning."Hu: De a bemutatótól, a közönség előtti beszédtől tartott.En: However, he was apprehensive about the presentation, speaking in front of an audience.Hu: Zsófia, a barátnője, inkább a művészetek iránt érdeklődött.En: Zsófia, his girlfriend, was more interested in the arts.Hu: Mindig új ötletekkel érkezett, szeszélyes módon változtatva meg mindent.En: She always came with new ideas, whimsically changing everything.Hu: Amikor Imre előadta a projekttervét, Zsófia rögtön elégedetlenkedett.En: When Imre presented his project plan, Zsófia immediately expressed her dissatisfaction.Hu: "Túl száraz, Imre!En: "It's too dry, Imre!"Hu: " – mondta határozottan.En: she said firmly.Hu: "Miért nem festünk táblaképeket is a prezentációhoz?En: "Why don't we paint boards for the presentation too?Hu: Színessé, játékossá tehetjük!En: We can make it colorful and playful!"Hu: "Imre először nem lelkesedett az ötletért.En: At first, Imre wasn't enthusiastic about the idea.Hu: "Ez túl rizikós," gondolta.En: "That's too risky," he thought.Hu: De hamarosan belátta, hogy a Zsófia által javasolt kreativitás még javíthatna is a bemutatón.En: But soon he realized that the creativity suggested by Zsófia could actually improve the presentation.Hu: Gábor, ki velük volt, vállat vont és mosolyogva mondta: "Miért ne?En: Gábor, who was with them, shrugged and said with a smile, "Why not?Hu: Úgyis mindenkinek megvan a maga stílusa.En: Everyone has their own style anyway.Hu: Keverjük hát össze!En: Let's mix it up!"Hu: "A lakónegyedben az idő szinte megállni látszott a bemutató napjáig.En: In the neighborhood, time seemed to stand still until the day of the presentation.Hu: Imre próbálta lenyugtatni a lelkét, közben Zsófiával együtt elkészítették az ecsetképeket.En: Imre tried to calm his nerves while he and Zsófia prepared the brush paintings together.Hu: Gábor mókás előadásmódszerekkel enyhítette a feszültséget, segítve Imrét, hogy magabiztosabbnak érezze magát.En: Gábor's humorous presentation style eased the tension, helping Imre feel more confident.Hu: A nagy nap reggelén az osztályterem megtelt halk izgatottsággal.En: On the morning of the big day, the classroom was filled with quiet excitement.Hu: Az ablakon kívül a fák ágai virágoztak, a levegő friss volt.En: Outside the window, the branches of the trees were blooming, and the air was fresh.Hu: Amikor Imre megkezdte a prezentációját, a kezei remegtek, de Zsófia bátorító mosolya és Gábor vicces megjegyzései segítették, hogy végig vigye a bemutatót.En: When Imre began his presentation, his hands were trembling, but Zsófia's encouraging smile and Gábor's funny remarks helped him get through it.Hu: Ahogy a bemutató végén a tanárok megköszönték munkájukat, Imre szinte fel se fogta, hogy mindez megtörtént.En: As the teachers thanked them for their work at the end of the presentation, Imre could hardly believe it had all happened.Hu: Az osztály tapsolt, és a tanárok kiemelték mennyire remekül sikerült a bemutató: nemcsak részletes volt, hanem kreatív és színes is.En: The class applauded, and the teachers highlighted how wonderfully successful the presentation was: not only was it detailed, but also creative and colorful.Hu: Imre mosolygott.En: Imre smiled.Hu: Megértette, hogy a siker nem csak a részleteken múlik.En: He understood that success wasn't just in the details.Hu: Rájött, hogy a kreativitás és a bátorság, hogy kilépjen a komfortzónájából, vezetett az elismeréshez.En: He realized that creativity and the courage to step out of his comfort zone led to the recognition.Hu: Kitörölhetetlen emlék maradt számára ez a nyár eleji nap.En: This early summer day became an indelible memory for him.Hu: A lakónegyedben a nap lassan lemenni készült, de Imre szívét akkor már a siker fénye ragyogta be.En: In the neighborhood, the sun was slowly setting, but Imre's heart was already illuminated by the light of success.

What happens when you stop overcomplicating your business, trust God's direction, and finally build a podcast that actually works? In today's episode, I'm sitting down with Podcast to Profit graduate Brittany Braswell to talk about what her journey has really looked like going from a podcast that felt stuck and unsustainable… to building a Top 2% podcast, landing an ABC News segment, booking incredible guests, and creating a 5-figure launch. And friend, this conversation is about so much more than numbers. This is what obedience looks like in real life and business. Brittany already had a podcast before joining Podcast to Profit, but it wasn't growing the way she hoped. It wasn't creating scalability, it wasn't consistently bringing in sales, and it definitely wasn't giving her more freedom or time back. Inside this conversation, we unpack the shifts that changed everything. From getting clear on her messaging and strategy to creating a podcast that actually supports her business growth instead of draining her. Brittany shares the honest behind-the-scenes of what happened when she stopped striving and started building with intention. We also talk about the opportunities that began showing up once her podcast started gaining momentum, including media features, guest collaborations, audience growth, and the confidence to scale her business in a sustainable way. If you've been wondering whether podcasting can really grow your business, create consistent income, and open doors you never expected… this episode will encourage you deeply. And if you currently have a podcast that feels confusing, inconsistent, or like it's not actually helping your business grow, this conversation will speak straight to your heart. I pray this blesses you! Ready to Make Consistent Income From a Podcast?  Join my 5-Day Profitable Podcast Bootcamp! I'll show you how to create a podcast that makes steady income on autopilot—without relying on social media.
