Some of the things an entrepreneur can do, but is not limited to, is help create more jobs, help the economy grow in their community, and create positive change for new ideas to keep flowing. The entrepreneur lifestyle is not always glamorous. You may always hear about the successful entrepreneurs like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, but there are many entrepreneurs out there that are trying to make it to their own success. The two speakers that

Garrett were a few different topics. He first talked about why he came into the entrepreneur mindset which was because engineering wasn’t working for him. He liked the idea of being his own company and working on new ideas, instead of working long hours and climbing up the food chain at a big company.
