On this episode of Real Talk University, Andre and Christian sat down with Dan Mori, an entrepreneur, angel investor, and speaker. In 2007, Dan helped start Employment Solutions of New York, which generated over $150M in revenue over the first 10 years. Today, he is the Co-Founder of SpinGig, a hospitality job engine, and is the co-host of the FAQ Show podcast. He shared a lot of knowledge in the interview, but here are the 3 main takeaways:

It is absolutely ok to be your 100% authentic and true self. Conforming to some sort of societal norm or trying to fit in with the crowd will cause you to burn out and not reach your full potential. Instead, be your natural self all of the time, and focus on the people and the opportunities that allow you to be yourself. You will be much more successful and happy with your life as a result.
The best time to start a business is in college. You have nothing to lose, no family to support, hopefully no bills to pay, and therefore can afford to take on a huge risk. Even if you fail, you will have a degree to fall back on and will be able to go get a high-paying job after graduation. In fact, the skillset you’ll take over to the professional world will be well worth it in itself.
Contrary to popular belief lately, you do not have to be passionate about your startup or venture. Rather, become invested in the process of scaling a business so you have the means necessary to enjoy your passions outside of work to the fullest. If you have an idea that is scalable, go all in on it regardless of if you’re passionate about it or not. Fall in love with the process of bringing your idea to generating revenue.
