In 2007, Cole Zucker made what might have seemed like a risky decision. After graduating college, he purchased a one-way ticket to Shanghai, China, checked into a hostel, and started searching for work.  

This life-altering experience eventually led to Cole co-founding Green Creative, a multi-million dollar commercial LED lighting company. He’s since exited Green Creative and started Hey Hero, a platform that enables influencers to offer personalized, expert advice to their followers.

In the latest episode of College of Influence’s podcast, we talked with Cole about how he started Green Creative, lessons he discovered along the way, and how influencers can benefit from his learnings.
