About the Episode

The what's what...

In just a moment, you'll meet Nick Freud - Co-Founder of CampusReel.

Nick grew up in Manhattan and went to high school in the Upper East Side. After graduating from college, he decided to break out of his homogeneous community and do something wildly different.

Rather than take a corporate job in NYC, something most of his friends were doing, Nick bought a one-way ticket to Thailand. He taught elementary school math there for half a year before hopping on over to Australia and securing a bartending gig in Byron Bay.

After six months of mixing drinks and exploring the Australian coast, Nick was convinced that a conventional path just wasn't for him...so when he got back stateside, he knew it was time to put one of the many ideas bouncing around his brain into action.

Tune in to hear the story of how he and his college buddy, Rob Carroll, built the largest repository of college student user-generated content, featuring more than 17,000 videos created by students at 355 colleges and universities.
