Joel Searls, UCLA Anderson 2017, was an officer in the United States Marine Corps before he got his MBA. What can Joel teach us about dealing with COVID-19?

In this first-ever “home edition” Drive Time interview, Joel and I talk about the life-and-death training he received in the United States Marine Corps and what that might teach us all about how to deal with living through this unique chapter.

Joel generously explores how he has been able to re-create his career four times so far, from being a theater major producing a full play, to being a military officer, to associate producing a full-length Hollywood movie, to now becoming an investment banker. He tells about his perspective on networking and we reminisce about the time he brought the Back to the Future DeLorean to FEMBApalooza!

Enjoy!
