Summary

Today's guest is the co-founder of a website you probably know, you've probably been on it. It's called EliteDaily, it's a website that advertises itself as the Voice of Generation Y. And I know a lot of you are millennials. The site was recently sold for $50 million bucks, and Gerard or "G" as he likes to be called, has quite the story. He's a college drop-out turned serial entrepreneur, digital media executive, documentary film producer, and millennial thought leader and philanthropist. He's also been been named one of the coolest people in Silicon Alley tech by Business Insider. His story started after he left college after just one semester. He became a first time entrepreneur shortly thereafter and things didn't pan out as he had hoped β€” he's gonna talk about that. Fast forward five years, and he's a self-made multi-millionaire. Today he's 30 years old, he's built, backed, and invested in nine companies and trades that all have made seven figure plus profits. Another reason to be impressed by Gerard, Tony Robbins is his guru, and the following Tony Robbins quote changed his life as it has mine and many others. It goes like this, "Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure." And yeah I live by those words. From there Gerard was inspired to launch Fownders, which is his latest venture β€” Fownders. And it's what he's calling a mentor and a movement that will show our generation how he himself has been able to succeed in business. So he is going in front and center, teaching people what he's learned. And it's not out yet, so we'll have to stay tuned for what's to come. For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com.
