SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
"If you're ever trying to build confidence in whatever you're doing, go to dinner by yourself."
Max Busca is a Sales Development Manager at the eCommerce startup MikMak. MikMak helps brands connect their digital investments to online retailer insights.
After an internship heading into his senior year, Max realized that finance wasn't the career path he wanted to take. He connected with a college alumni who started a sports and apparel company, Destination Athlete. Max ended up purchasing his own franchise and ran it for a year, with YoY sales of 160%.
Max choose to sell the franchise once he came to the conclusion that he wanted to work for a startup. He cold-emailed the CEO of MikMak after hearing her on a podcast, which eventually led to an interview and a job.
Max was a finance major at The College of New Jersey. He was a four-year starter and two-time captain of their football team.
