Bridging the Gap Between Emerging Professionals and Executives
One Book. Two Audiences. One Mission: Stronger, More Productive Workplaces
A Blueprint for Mutual Success
Most career books only speak to one side, either leadership or employees.
From College to Corporate equips both:
Executives get strategies to lead, engage, and retain top young talent.
Young professionals learn how to adapt, add value, and accelerate growth in their organizations.
When both sides are equipped, workplaces thrive. Productivity goes up, retention improves, and collaboration becomes second nature.

From College To Covid
Hassan’s story begins in 2019 with a season-ending college football injury and a 2020 remote graduation, and journeys through the incubation of his education enterprise products and his bi-weekly interview podcast. Along the way, he documented lessons from his own experience starting a business from his bedroom and continued his learning journey by chasing the wisdom of his entrepreneurial mentors-some of today’s most successful new-economy BIPOC business builders. He invited them to appear on his podcast, drew out their best advice for money-minded young people, and distilled those lessons into easy-to-apply tips, tricks, and encouragement.
This knowledge, both Hassan’s and that collected from his podcast guests, are compiled into this refreshing and inspirational volume of life lessons-both financial and psychological-that will enrich every young person’s wallet and aspirations.
From College To Covid To Recession
Hassan Thomas, author, speaker, and host of FYI FLI The Podcast has stepped up to collect the thoughts and opinions of economists and financial experts he’s interviewed about a potential coming recession—what to expect, how it will impact us, and how we can prepare to not only survive but thrive during an economic downfall.
Compiled from Hassan’s years of expert interviews, this next book in the From College to COVID series includes tips and tricks to make and manage money during a recession.
What You Will Learn: How to create and provide value, Who and what is affected by a recession, How to prepare for a recession, How to manage money during a recession, Eight online side-hustles, and The most profitable places to save and invest.
