#1888 How to score an internship with one of your heroes (like Gary V)–before launching your startup

I love stories of success, but I’m also one of the few people who’s fascinated by stories of failure. Joining me today is an entrepreneur who’s had both. He had a company that didn’t work out so well, so he gave up everything, which turns out wasn’t that much. And then he said, “You know what? I’m just going to travel.” He ended up in India and he’s now teaching Indian developers how to code and then helping them get work. And get this, they’re not paying him to learn until he places them in a job. I want to find out how he built this company.
