Must See Interviews With the World’s Most Successful Entrepreneurs

  At Under30CEO we think big. We recently published a list of our Top 40 Most Motivational People on the web and things got a little nuts. The article created incredible buzz all over the web and inspired us to create a list of successful entrepreneurs. So we fired up our audience to go out and make something happen. As young entrepreneurs it’s important that we keep swinging for the fences (a great guide for that is the book Rich20Something which teaches millennials how to start businesses in the 21st century). Super successful investors like Ron Conway say they’d rather invest in an 18 year old Mark Zuckerberg than a 31 year old seasoned entrepreneur because the young Sean Parker types truly think the sky is the limit. At Under30CEO we’re going to carry that mentality into the interviews that we conduct on the site. The list below is the most incredible people to learn from as entrepreneurs and we intend to interview them all…somehow.
