Entrepreneurship Interview Week 3

Interview with Baxter Bramblett (CEO Founder of Reel it Up)

What motivates you to be an entrepreneur?

Baxter: Well growing up it was always something I wanted to do. I just finally lit a fire under myself and did it.

What can I learn from an entrepreneurship class?
