This week on The Way to College Podcast, I’m joined by Sam Garcia—a Mission, Texas native who went from taking dual credit courses at South Texas College to earning a degree from Harvard Law and becoming a partner at the venture capital firm Amplo.

In this episode, Sam shares:

• How early planning (and a few strategic A’s) helped him get into Harvard Law

• Why dual credit courses in high school can shape your future more than you think

• What it means to take smart risks—even when you don’t have it all figured out

• His path from law school to teaching at Harvard and leading VC deals

• The story behind writing for Forbes and The Guardian while still a student

💡 Whether you're a student, educator, or professional, Sam’s journey is a masterclass in intentionality, hustle, and saying yes to opportunity.
