Advice to young entrepreneurs and innovators

Now for something a little bit different. I've spoken with Benjamin Wong of the YoungTrep podcast, a teenager whose audience are other teenagers and kids interested in bettering themselves, doing business, and having fun.

Some of the topics we've covered were:

• Why and how is curiosity important, even when it gets you into trouble.
• How to ask for advice, and how to take it.
• How to develop critical thinking skills on the cheap and easy.
• How to develop your idea, be it a school project or side-gig.
• How to overcome fears of getting feedback on your idea.
• How to start right now: six steps in 30 seconds.

I believe education is a great equaliser; a viable venue for those with less privileged backgrounds; and an important success factor for our race. Please share this episode with young entrepreneurs and innovators in your network.
