Dream. Think. Do. | Helping You Achieve Bigger Goals

In this episode of the DREAM. THINK. DO. podcast, Mitch Matthews talks with Mara Zepeda, Co-founder and CEO of Switchboard HQ, an engagement platform connecting students and alumni to create success. Mara’s passion project would eventually draw her away from a successful career in journalism, where she had worked for the Boston Globe and NPR, and into the world of entrepreneurship. She tells how she navigated some major life decisions and what the inspiration behind Switchboard. Listen To The Podcast: Have you ever seen a problem and thought… “There has to be a better way to do THAT!” “Why hasn’t somebody created a product for THAT?” “Somebody should invent something to fix THAT?” DREAM THINK DO guest Mara Zepeda had those same questions while she was serving on the alumni board for Reed College. She was an award-winning reporter for NPR, but she saw a need. Reed was looking for better ways to connect alumni with current students.  She started to dig into the problem… like a reporter would.
