Great interview; I really appreciated the aspects of entrepreneurship being a mindset and how Brenton’s relationship with his girlfriend fuels his start-up. I personally found the transition from corporate to entrepreneurship motivating yet challenging and found that it required a shift in mindset similar to what was described. I also found my relationship to be critical to my business moving forward as well.

Similar to Jun I think being an angel investor would be great - the ability to have the opportunity to see people pitch their ideas to you and then have the potential to guide the growth of entrepreneurs would be great.

that is a cool interview, Jun

I luv Brenton’s genuine and authentic style - who needs the extravagant lifestyle at age 25 ? You can always have your ladies and pool when you are over 30

His two points are absolutely vital:

You need to have (and grow) a big network, because word of “mouse” in the digital world is just like in the offline world: absolutely vital !

The other point is just as important - you have to differentiate yourself - totally.
In fact, I don’t even believe there’s an overcrowded niche.
Social media is gets thrown around a lot - if you really want to be in that area you better start owning your keywords.

Personally, I’d never call myself a social media consultant or anything like that - that’s just cookie-cutter style. How about Influencer, or community creator

Not the best examples, but yo get the idea. Creativity applied to any niche will always results in grrrreat opportunities.

ahhh, had to write that.
keep rocking, guys !

Good stuff fellas! Glad you guys are sharing your knowledge through video.

What about bring the gfs into the loop and ask them for entrepreneurial advice and ideas?

In a recent interview we spoke with a recently married young entrepreneur who talked about manging a business and personal life.
