With over 700,000 Penn State alumni alive today, the Penn State degree becomes a calling card for people around the world. Six degrees of separation is a given for most Penn Staters – if you are one, you know one. No matter where you are, a fellow Penn Stater is not far away.

This is especially true throughout the entrepreneurial journeys of two successful Penn State alumni entrepreneurs, Hunter Swisher and JT Marino. Both leveraged their Penn State connections and were able to identify a need within their respective fields to disrupt the status quo. Join Hunter and JT, with moderator Bob Morgan, another successful Penn State alumni entrepreneur in his own right, as they talk more about how their time at Penn State helped prepare them for where they are today.
