About Me
Meet Your Host: Alexis Rose
Born and raised by two scuba divers at the Jersey Shore, I grew up spending more time in the water than on land. My childhood was spent swimming, surfing, and learning to have the utmost respect for the ocean. My connection to the sea instilled a great deal of discipline, resilience, and curiosity in me that I carry with me in every aspect of life today.
In May 2023, I graduated from the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business with a B.S. in Finance, a semester's experience at Universidad de Autonoma Barcelona, and a Wall Street Fellow.
I currently live in New York City, working in the financial industry and training for the NYC Marathon. I spend my free time painting, free diving, travelling, and learning about life through the people, places, and experiences along the way.
Why a Podcast?
The goal of Don't Wait for Monday is to create a platform in which I can share the stories, triumphs, and knowledge of others, in hopes of changing the life of even one listener.
Why now?
In a society that promotes feeling cool over feeling connected, I want to demonstrate that the most interesting parts of life can't be curated on social media, but rather are found in the hearts and minds of entreprenaurs, explorers, and optimists alike.
