Pony Tales Podcast
We chat with successful entrepreneurs and professionals who share lessons learned by selling door-to-door during college with Southwestern Advantage. The show is not directly affiliated with the internship itself, but invites alumni of the program to share their experience. These stories vary from motivational, outrageous, comedic, instructional, informational and valuable to any person wanting to learn more about personal growth, attitude, discipline, sales, recruiting, work-life balance, entrepreneurship, work ethic, and much more. Listen on your favorite platform.
