18. From Dorm Room Dreams to Deal-Making Queen: Julia Haber on Building Home From College & Reinventing the Future of Work

What do you get when you mix a college side hustle with big brand vision and Gen Z ambition? A game-changing platform—and one very unstoppable founder.

This week, we’re joined by Julia Haber, co-founder of Home From College, the career-building startup helping students land real-world experience through bite-sized gigs and brand projects (think: TikTok meets LinkedIn).

We talk about:

  • How she launched her company while still in school

  • Her secret to winning over iconic brands like Poppi & Etsy

  • What Gen Z actually wants from work (and what they’ll never go back to)

  • How to build a business in public, with purpose and personality

  • The power of personal branding, pivots, and post-grad confidence

If you're curious about building a company that speaks to the next generation—or just need a little career inspiration—you’re going to love this one.

🎧 Press play to learn why real experience > résumés—and how Julia’s reshaping the way we all think about school, work, and self-worth.
