"Don Lupo is one of the most dedicated and engaging mentors I’ve met—always finding ways to connect with students and share his industry knowledge. As the Executive Director of ThinkLA, he brings deep expertise in digital production, publishing, photography, and the business side of digital media. I’ve worked with him through SpeakerPost and Pepperdine, and he’s been instrumental in building bridges between academia and industry. He even came to my campus to speak with students about his journey, and they walked away with so many valuable insights. Don is an incredible speaker—he knows his stuff, and he makes it all so accessible. If you get the chance to have him in your class, take it!"
