Summary

John Bodrozic’s two top college picks, both in his native California, had turned him down…twice. Notre Dame was a fine school, but it still felt like a consolation prize. He could not have imagined the doors that would open in the wake of those two rejections. Today he is a co-founder of Homezada, his second startup, a digital home management internet platform that empowers consumers to manage their largest financial asset, their home. His previous successful startup resulted in a successful multi-million dollar sale to a public company.
