Check this dude out: starts high school at 12. Starts college at 14. Sells his startup at 28. Brian "diapers ain't sh!t" Wong gettin that bag!
This brother started a marketing company called Kiip - basically, he figured out how to make cool ads for gamers, you know - like ads that make sense to see while gaming - for example, achieve a new level or high score, and a rewards program will kick on that allows advertisers to make offers to the gamer. Ya, dude cashed out fo' sho, fo' sho.
He wouldn't reveal how much chedda he nibblin' on, BUT he did open up about a serious life situation: Brian was indicted for a serious felony (lol I totally missed this in my pre-production homework, leave me alone, pandemic anxiety was high that day). Brian talked about how this messed him up, while at the same time it made it crystal clear who his real friends & fam are. Dayyum. Listen in to get some of that.
Dude also had a lot to say about what the pandemic means for the startup world: BOTTOM LINE - get creative people. We keep sayin' it every episode: the next year or 2 is all about innovation and adaptability. There's a new normal - EMBRACE IT. KISS IT. LOVE IT.
