New episode and a whole new exceptional guest! He's a freshman at the University of Florida, and even before he touched down, he, alongside his brother, co-founded Eco Brothers Inc., dedicated to increasing literacy amongst students. He's heavily involved in youth empowerment, education, and equality. A man who's gonna take on the world, Chase Hartman. Today, our topics include his founding of Eco Brothers, his take on banned books, and what he's learned from other student leaders and achievers. Always an honor to have someone like Chase on the UPcoming.

It's been a long time but the UPcoming is back with the first episode of 2025. Joining me for the long-awaited episode 64 is Samantha Sanhaus from Philadelphia. Only a freshman in Lehigh University, and her achievements are already astounding. She's the founder of Feeding Philly, a non-profit dedicated to combating youth malnutrition, inspired by her own experience with an eating disorder. Her leadership extends beyond this, as she's proudly served PA Youth Vote and the Philadelphia Youth Network.

Today she talks about her success, difficulties, goals, and how she gradually became the inspirational person she is.

In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Daryn Rockett, a remarkable individual hailing from Long Beach, California. Daryn is a graduate of Stanford University, where she was honored with the prestigious Hoefer Prize for Excellence in Writing and the Harold K. Boyd Undergraduate Scholar Award. Currently, she is pursuing her J.D. and master's in social work at Washington University in St. Louis.

Daryn's journey is a testament to her ambition, hard work, and dedication. Throughout our conversation, she shares her experiences at Stanford, the little habits that build to her success, and just how she views society can change for the better. Essentially, you'll see how everything in her life has shaped her academic and professional pursuits.

As Daryn prepares for a career as an attorney, she discusses her motivations for entering the legal field and her commitment to making a positive impact through social work. Her dual focus on law and social work highlights her holistic approach to advocacy and justice.

Daryn is one of the many guests who more than deserves a spot on the UPcoming, and I'm honored to have had the chance to talk with her.
