That was really great. A superb example on how forging your own path makes the world of difference to both you and the people you help. We need more of this mentality today
What a great inspiration--and not just to young people! Entrepreneurship is a pathway of creative expression, challenge, personal growth, and contribution that is unavailable to those who shrink away from the opportunities that exist all around them. I'll see you two gentlemen at the top!
Awesome talk, I especially like the correlation to the old-timey traditional mentality of schooling and how opposite its purpose has become in regards to creating individual thinkers.
Fantastic perspective on how we should treat entrepreneurship the same way we do sports with young people. Practice, learn through failure, push forward, work hard. Amazing.
This is amazing. thank you!
Amazing! You both are perfect ideals for new youthpreneurs, thanks for inspiring 👍👍
hello! it was a great motivation for me and i think it's not only for me but for all peoples who have watched this video.😀 i got a school assignment for english lessons. the topic of my vlog about youth and entrepreneurship. i take all of the topic that you have said on this video as a topic of my vlog😀😀 thank you for the great idea and i will give credit😀👍
Great speech! Thanks you
Very much agree! What a better time to start an entrepreneurial journey than our young years. Besides, most people remember their teenage lives as regret, or embarrassing silly moments so why not use the years people forgive your silly moments and learn from your failures as a founder instead of a follower? :)
Great presentation fellas.
very interesting
