In this episode, we sat down with David Mao, a high school dropout and founder of UGC.inc, to talk about what it really means to bet on yourself. We got into why he left school to build his company, how he’s turning content creation into a business, and what Gen Z is getting right, and wrong, about chasing success. From talking about startup life to the pressure of being young and ambitious, this one’s about risk, conviction, and redefining what it means to “make it” your own way.
