Episode notes
Adam Max, founder of Max College Advising, joins us to break down one of the most overwhelming phases of a student’s journey: the college admissions process. With a background in admissions at Emory and 20 years in strategic marketing, Adam offers a uniquely human, strength-based approach to choosing and applying to college.
This episode is full of practical tools for managing time, staying organized, and reducing procrastination—skills that don’t just help with applications, but prepare students for success once they’re on campus. Adam also speaks to the importance of student-parent alignment, pacing the process, and using self-reflection to drive decisions. If you’re looking for ways to make the college process less stressful and more meaningful, this is a must-listen.
