Brief description: When Marshall Boen started college, his goal was to save as much time and money as possible. He had a crazy idea to make that happen. He would try to graduate in half the time, two years instead of four, and at half the cost. His peers and teachers thought it was impossible. Some even laughed. After all, they had a point: He wasn't special. He was just an eighteen-year-old kid with learning disabilities, autism, and an average IQ. Throughout school, Marshall struggled with math, writing, and foreign languages. He worked hard to compensate for his shortcomings and graduated with honors from Stevenson in Pebble Beach, California. In the fall of 2020, Marshall started college with no transfer credits. While taking twenty-seven college credits most semesters, he worked part-time in his family's real estate business, trained twenty-plus hours weekly for triathlons, and finished two 140.6-mile Ironman races. Two years later, in spring 2022, Marshall became the fastest graduate in the University of Tampa's history, earning a Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship with a 3.98 overall GPA. Today, Marshall lives in Tampa Florida, manages his family's real estate holdings, competes in ultra-endurance athletic events, and co-builds businesses with long-time friend and business partner Marcus Lo. The two met in high school and bonded over a shared passion for entrepreneurship and financial literacy. As friends and business partners, Marshall and Marcus do three things.1. Teach young people the essential life skills they need to succeed.2. Help successful individuals grow their wealth for generations to come.3. Work with business owners to help them reach their biggest goals.
