00:00:01.400 --> 00:00:03.090
<v Interviewer>Hi, we're on the Millennial Train.</v>

2
00:00:03.090 --> 00:00:04.510
Who are you?

3
00:00:04.510 --> 00:00:06.060
<v ->Hi, my name is Phillip Ellison.</v>

4
00:00:06.060 --> 00:00:09.630
I'm from New York City, by way of Boston,

5
00:00:09.630 --> 00:00:12.470
because I've been studying there and working on my startup.

6
00:00:12.470 --> 00:00:13.710
<v Interviewer>Great, and what's your project</v>

7
00:00:13.710 --> 00:00:15.140
that you're working on on the train?

8
00:00:15.140 --> 00:00:19.868
<v ->Yeah, so my project is an EdTech focused project.</v>

9
00:00:19.868 --> 00:00:22.410
I've been doing, essentially trying

10
00:00:22.410 --> 00:00:25.601
to get a better understanding of the problems

11
00:00:25.601 --> 00:00:28.220
of the people in the Community College system,

12
00:00:28.220 --> 00:00:30.670
i.e. the administrators who work with students,

13
00:00:30.670 --> 00:00:33.350
especially the advising and planning space.

14
00:00:33.350 --> 00:00:35.510
So I can understand their problems

15
00:00:35.510 --> 00:00:36.540
and also having a better understanding

16
00:00:36.540 --> 00:00:39.150
of the product market fit for our beta

17
00:00:39.150 --> 00:00:41.440
that we are launching in September.

18
00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:42.330
<v Interviewer>That's so exciting.</v>

19
00:00:42.330 --> 00:00:45.400
What's been your favorite experience on the train?

20
00:00:45.400 --> 00:00:46.250
<v ->That's so hard.</v>

21
00:00:46.250 --> 00:00:48.220
That's impossible.

22
00:00:48.220 --> 00:00:50.450
This is, I mean, for me, a journey of a lifetime.

23
00:00:50.450 --> 00:00:51.670
I'm very fortunate,

24
00:00:51.670 --> 00:00:54.943
I'm a senior Comcast NBC Universal Fellow,

25
00:00:56.490 --> 00:00:59.653
and so this is just a journey of a lifetime with people.
