Hello, and thank you for joining this episode of AMA’s Marketing And. I’m your host, AMA CEO, Bennie F. Johnson. In our podcast, we like to explore life through the lens of marketing, delving into conversations with individuals that flourish at this intersection of marketing and the unexpected. We hope to introduce you to visionaries and leaders and folks who are growing in marketing that you may not have heard of but exactly the ones you need to know. Our hope is that you’ll enjoy our thought-provoking conversations as we unravel the challenges, triumphs, and pivotal moments that have all been shaped by marketing. Career journeys are often unexpected, long, and are filled with hope and moments of inspiration. What’s really nice is when we can have a conversation at the beginning of this journey and talk about the promise of the future. So today, my special guest is Colin Adams. Colin is a fourth year business administration student at North Carolina State University, concentrating in marketing, psychology, and entrepreneurship. When asked about himself, Colin said, I’m a creative student with exceptional collaborative skills who enjoys learning and approaching problems with an entrepreneurial and inclusive mindset. Entrepreneurial and inclusive are our agenda for today. And so I welcome Colin to the podcast. Hello, my friend, how are you doing?

When you talk a little bit about yourself, what brought you to that point? Of all the majors, of all the spaces, why marketing, why now?

Colin
Yeah, well, so I kind of started my interest in marketing when I got into college. I got in with business administration, just in general. And throughout my freshman and sophomore year, really refined my
Interest in business into marketing. And so my freshman and sophomore year, I was the class of 2020-20 graduating. So that was very much the COVID class and I didn’t have that high school graduation. So it was a very turbulent and self-discovering time, like in that freshman and sophomore year area. And I was lucky that I was able to find my community and niche at NC State within marketing. And so just kind of that.
