DR. WHITE'S TIP: "Relationships are never going to go out of style. No matter how much AI or technology we get, having the ability to build authentic, caring, servant-oriented relationships is everything."

DR. EASON'S TIP: "We've built our curriculum not to teach students how to sell a product, but to teach students how to communicate effectively and persuasively, and hopefully build those skills of resilience and work ethic along the way."
