At 12, Dominick cleaned his neighbor's backyard to save money to buy one $30 share of Disney, unlike what the average boy his age would be doing. Growing up in Brooklyn and watching everyone around him struggle financially motivated him to "change" things.

Next came starting a nonprofit for the homeless as an Eagle Scout.

Entrepreneurship was like jumping into the pool and saying, "wow, the water is cold."

In 1995, way ahead of its time, Dominick started an online blogging news site called the Celebrity Cafe (similar to today's Buzzfeed). At its peak, it had over 30 million readers and impressive revenue from paid advertising.

Celebrity Cafe was jumping into the pool of entrepreneurship, learning how to code (Content Management System, CMS), and realizing he was now responsible for employees.

Spoiler alert! While building the Celebrity Cafe, Dominick gets a full-time job on Wall Street,  an education on hustling, and learning how to use technology to improve and make money.
