His purpose is simple: to inspire other Millennials to leverage their passions to create the successful lifestyles they dream of. He became a self-made multi-millionaire at 24, but not without overcoming obstacles, fear, and self-doubt. He left college early, after a semester to be exact, to pave his own path. In recent years he invested in, built, and backed 9 companies and trades that have all made seven figures. He has lived bi-coastal, owned exotic cars, traveled the world first class, and made friends with countless influencers. Today he is a co-founder of Fownders a non-profit community of entrepreneur located on the ground floor of a brand new 4 story live-work space, in the heart of Newark’s booming University Heights neighborhood.

  2. I have finished watching this video completely.
    (我看完這部影片了)

    I am a Taiwanese who cares about the global affairs.
    (我是一個關心全球事務的台灣人)

    And, sadly, most of my fellow Taiwanese don't really care about the world.
    (但是,很不幸地,我大部分的台灣同胞不那麼在意世界。)

    Hopefully Taiwan can become increasingly globally-aware and globally-competitive.
    (希望台灣可以越來越有全球意識與全球競爭力。)

    God bless Taiwan.
    (天佑台灣。)
