Joining me today is a guy who had ambitions of getting into Finance. But he couldn’t do it because he couldn’t get hired. He applied at hedge funds and went to interviews in New York but couldn’t compete with the other Ivy League resumes.
So he went back home and what did he do? He started buying and selling on Ebay. Today Brian Burke is the founder of SellYourMac which repurposes and recycles used Apple products.
We’ll find out if there’s any money in this business and if the people who turned him down in New York were right.

Brian Burke is the founder of SellYourMac which repurposes and recycles used Apple products.
