As kids, we often think we know what we’ll be when we grow up. And some people do. They fall in love with a particular field and pursue it. Others find themselves meandering a bit more, as opportunities present themselves and interests twist and turn. Perhaps your journey in life and business looks similar.
To talk about taking untraditional paths, I (Kyle) interviewed Mark Duran, the CEO and Co-Founder of Student First Technologies. Mark and I discussed both the joys and the hard work of moving off a set path onto one you didn’t foresee.
“Be really honest with yourself. Why do you want to start a business?” -- Mark Duran
