David Ongchoco | CEO of YouthHack

Reach Out To Mentors and Take Advantage of Opportunities David was a senior in high school and just wanted to play basketball! He wasn't involved or even cared about the tech scene, nor did he care about startups. After finding a love for writing, he used his story to get in front of some of the biggest and best entrepreneurs in the world! From David's experiences, he now has a column for Huffington Post and also Forbes Magazine. Don't Be Afraid To Try "Some of the hardest things to do is getting over the initial part of your business, you're struggling and you don't know what you're doing. So, just do it!"

Philadelphia native, Johnathan Grzybowski started his career at 14 mowing lawns. Over 5 businesses later, Johnathan has a deep passion on bettering the lives of millennials and helping them execute their ideas into profitable businesses. It’s never been easier to start a business, but how do you make it successful? Constantly millennials are claiming to be entrepreneurs, but may not truly know what it takes to either become one or last long enough to succeed at being one. By listening/viewing The Blind Entrepreneur, we are determined to help those who are “blind” see the true struggles of business, successes, and the grind it took these millennials to succeed. #LINKS Email: [email protected] Podcast: http://theblindentrepreneur.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jgrzybowski Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/grzybowskij Instagram: http://instagram.com/grzybowskij Snapchat: grzybowskij #SUBSCRIBE iTunes: http://bit.ly/TBEPodcast #PS.
