I have to say that I am very proud of my good friend Bryan Young.  At just 22 years old, he’s already an owner of two businesses (a trucking company and an

I remember the college application process back during high school 7 years ago.  I went to the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics.  For those of you who aren’t familiar with it, in which case, that’s probably the most of you, NCSSM was a very prestigious school where only the top and brightest (supposedly) [...]

Last night, I couldn’t sleep. It was one of those nights where you close your eyes, and you just can’t fall asleep despite how long you lay there. So I started to think about things, about the future, about my own personal development. I started thinking of ideas, mostly business ideas and [...]
