37. Balancing Entertainment and Entrepreneurship through College On Tap with Sarah Bennett

"One main thing I learned is that it's really not that easy to start a business. That may sound simple, but I think a lot of kids are looking for quick money scheme, and I just don't think those really exist out there." - Sarah Bennett Sarah Bennett is the founder of College On Tap, an entertainment blog written by college students, for college students. Imagine the platform of Barstool Sports, with a mission of information and empowerment. In this episode, we discuss the story and mission of College on Tap, as well as Sarah’s beliefs around the growth mindset and the process of entrepreneurship. Sarah shares the story of her first business; a custom sock company that she founded at age 14. Although this venture ended up failing, it instilled in her the ethos of entrepreneurship; taking risks, failing often, and extracting lessons from those failures. Fast forward to quarantine 2020, when Sarah found herself with more free time than she’s ever had, and therefore, rediscovered her passion for entrepreneurship. She realized that college students deserved a social media site where they can learn and have fun at the same time, so she decided to launch College On Tap, with the partnership of her co-founder and best friend, Carly Christofi. Please check out their brand @c0llege0ntap (website: http://collegeontap.com ; twitter: @TapCollege; fb: College On Tap) and Sarah’s favorite book “Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World” by Adam Grant.
