About this episode

With people hunkering down at home to protect themselves from COVID-19, things have been hard for small businesses—especially local restaurants and coffeeshops.

Enter Brim, a mobile ordering app that can be used by any local business. Luke Bogus, a student in UNL’s prestigious Jeffrey S. Raikes School of Computer Science and Management, created the app as a business opportunity—but when the pandemic hit a week after the app launched, he shifted his plan and offered it to businesses for free.

In this episode of Leading Nebraska, we talk with Bogus about his app and more. He shares how his education helped developed his computer science skills—and led to a job at Microsoft.
