Podcast #6
On the episode, “The Insider’s Guide to a Free Ride” you’ll hear an exclusive interview with Marvis Burns, the author of The Insider’s Guide to a Free Ride, an Amazon #1 best seller in three categories that details how students can win scholarships. He won $500,000 of scholarships, went on to graduate from Cornell University, worked on Wall Street, founded Educational Keys, and now is in his last semester at Wharton pursuing a MBA.
Marvis Burns was born at the end of June in Detroit, MI and grew up surrounded by entrepreneurs. Now, only a quarter of a century, Marvis has experienced many hardships and success in the business world that span his interests and passions for education, finance and real estate. Marvis left his hometown to board in Bloomfield Hills, MI as he attended high school at Cranbrook Kingswood. His view that the further you go, the faster you grow led him to Cornell University where he earned a Bachelors of Science studying finance and real estate. Marvis then relocated to Stamford, CT, where he worked in finance at GE Capital's Real Estate arm. He later transitioned to UBS for its real estate environmental team through Cushman and Wakefield. Marvis has started a non-profit organization, Young Leaders for Excellence, whose mission is to help eradicate the many barriers that hinder students from pursuing top colleges.
