In this Episode: We talk about the journey of how to create an immensely engaged community. Anyone can "grow an audience" they say, but engagement is the real KPI we should be looking at. We talk about gaining venture capital investment, connecting with and utilizing younger generations, closing big brand deals, and how to create a peaceful workflow and entrepreneurial space in light of COVID and other complicated social matters. About Next Gen Summit WE BELIEVE ENTREPRENEURS CAN AND SHOULD CONTROL THEIR OWN DESTINIES. THAT’S WHY IN 2014, WE STARTED NEXT-GEN TO EMPOWER ENTREPRENEURS TO DESIGN THE LIVES THEY WANT TO LIVE AND ACHIEVE THEIR PURPOSE. ENTREPRENEURSHIP IS REALLY, REALLY, REALLY HARD. AS CO-FOUNDERS AND CO-CEOS OURSELVES, WE KNOW THIS ALL TOO WELL. BUT WE’RE DRIVEN: DRIVEN TO HELP ENTREPRENEURS OVERCOME THE OBSTACLES THAT GET IN THE WAY. OUR BUSINESS HUB ENERGIZES ENTREPRENEURS ON THEIR PATH TO FREEDOM AND SUCCESS.  THE BEST PART IS - WE’RE JUST GETTING STARTED. HERE’S TO TAKING OWNERSHIP OF OUR JOURNEY, GROWING 1% EACH DAY, AND CHASING OUR DREAMS TOGETHER.  - Founders Justin and Dylan
