Successful Dropout

To stay in school, or to drop out, that is the question. In this episode Kylon gives several reasons why staying in school might be the best decision for you, and on the flip side, why dropping out might be a good decision. 

Hayden dropped out of high school at the age of 17 and started his own web design business.  For the next several years he would go on to succeed and fail in both online and offline business ventures until 2011 when he discovered niche sites. In under a year, he built over 3000 websites and became an expert in the niche site industry.

In the summer of 2012, he started a blog which would eventually morph into NoHatDigital. The mission of NoHatDigital is to create opportunities for people to earn a full time remote online income and to give them an opportunity to live and work with their peers, building a community of like-minded online entrepreneurs.

He also recently launched a new venture called WiredInvestors which buys online businesses with unrealized potential, and maximizes their value.

Sam is a serial entrepreneur and visionary leader with the keen ability to transform emerging market opportunities into highly successful ventures.

He established Blue Collar Scholars in 2013, hiring college students to perform much-needed tasks in their local communities. Earning well over 1k a day within two years of operation, Sam channeled these funds to develop Scholar App Studios, a mobile app development company. He then went on to create Sam Forline Consulting a viral marketing, consulting, and website development company.

Some of his other accomplishments include him and his team promoting a paid app to the number two spot on Apple iTunes, and he also served as Director of Organizations against ALS and was largely responsible for the success of the viral Ice Bucket Challenge movement.

Nathan is the founder of Heyo, a company that has helped thousands of businesses get more leads through smart social media campaigns and his company was recently acquired by one of his competitors. He is also the host of one of the most successful business podcasts called The Top  where he interviews the top entrepreneurs in money, marketing, business, and life. He has also been featured in several major publications including Forbes, Inc, Inside Facebook, The Wallstreet Journal and USA Today.

Kylon Gienger shares the "why" behind Successful Dropout, what to expect from the podcast, and the long-term vision.
