The second sponsor break opens with SoFi, pitching its private student loans as covering up to 100% of school-certified costs — including housing, books, and food — with competitive fixed or variable rates, no origination fees, and an online application at sofi.com/profgeestudent. IM8 follows, promoting its NSF-certified Daily Ultimate Essentials Drink with co-host Ed Elson's personal endorsement. Listeners get a free welcome kit, five travel sachets, and 10% off with code PropG at im8health.com/propg. A brief Google Chrome/Gemini ad also runs in this window.
