Interview with an Entrepreneur… Part 2
Dylan’s Interview
How long have you been involved in your father’s business?
Since I was 8.
How has is it affected you by having a father that is an entrepreneur?
It had a good and bad affect. It is good to have someone with hunger and drive around you. “You are an average of the 5 people that you are around the most.” At times we have conflicting ideas and opinions, but it only makes both of us better.
Where do you see yourself in the next 5 to 10 years?
On a higher plane in all facets of life.
Who do you admire or follow in business?
Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Gary Vaynerchuk, and Jeff Bezos.
What or who inspires you?
My father, in addition to the gentlemen that I named previously.
What challenges do you have as a young entrepreneur?
Previously, it was the fact that I was so young. That is not much a factor anymore.
How many hours do you typically work in a day?
12 hours, 6:00 am to 6:00 pm.
What advice do you have for other young entrepreneurs?
Cut off things and/or relationships that do not add benefit to you life.
Could you see yourself ever working for anyone else?
Possibly-It depends on if I feel the situation would add benefit to my life.
What do you do in your down time?
Aside from research, I enjoy hitting the bars with my friends.
What question would you ask of another entrepreneur if you were conducting this interview?
I would want to know what is the most controversial opinion that they have.
Any parting words for entrepreneurs starting out?
Be realistic with your goals. “Reality is my drug”-50 Cent
