Ep 23 - Antonio Ryckman: A black kid who loved computers and did something about it
Antonio is a 24 year old entrepreneur who started his career at the age of 12.
When he was a child, he hid his love for computers because he thought black kids weren't supposed to be good at using them. Secretly, he started a YouTube channel where he taught people how to use design software (when he was 12). His videos earned hundreds of thousands of views. At the age of 14, he got his first job as a graphic designer, creating products for the NFL and Disney World. At age 18 he started the business he runs now with his business partner.
I interviewed Antonio because I believe his story will inspire other young people to believe their talent can be activated in powerful ways.
