The First Opportunity: Internships in the Workplace

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 06:00:00 -0400

Last summer, Emack & Bolio's Ice Cream welcomed a Junior Achievement intern. At the end of the summer, instead of saying goodbye, they offered her a job. Today, she's training the next JA intern.

In this episode of Bold Xchange, Laurie Sallarulo sits down with the business owner who took a chance, the former intern who turned an opportunity into a career, and the current intern just beginning her journey.

Together, they talk honestly about what makes an internship meaningful, what employers are really looking for, how young people can stand out, and why giving someone their first opportunity can change a life—and a business.

Released in recognition of National Intern Day, this conversation is a reminder that internships aren't just about filling summer positions. They're about building tomorrow's workforce.

School Never Looked Like This

Tue, 26 May 2026 06:00:00 -0400

What happens when education stops teaching for tests and starts preparing students for life?

The questions keeping students up at night - Am I ready? What comes next? Will I make it? - are the same ones employers are asking about them. In this episode, Laurie Sallarulo sits down with Dr. Angela Fulton of Broward County Public Schools and Tom Milana of Transworld Business Advisors to explore 3DE by Junior Achievement, the high school model that's closing the gap between education and employment by replacing hypothetical assignments with real companies, real business challenges, and real-world skills. They'll dig into why the old playbook isn't enough anymore, and how bold partnerships between schools and business are building the workforce pipeline from the inside out. Because the future of education isn't just about what students know - it's about what they can do with it. Listen in…

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 06:00:00 -0400

Howard Dorkin, Debt Expert Who’s Been on the Wrong Side of Broke...

Most people aren’t broke because they don’t work hard. They’re stuck because no one ever showed them how money, power, and access actually work together.

In this episode, we explore the gap between earning and building — and the moves that can shift your financial future in a meaningful way.

From mindset to opportunity to strategy, this conversation will challenge how you think about money — and what’s actually possible.
