Finding an Excuse to Have Conversations With People You Admire

How do you build the largest network in the world of ambitious and successful 20-somethings?  According to Next Gen Summit founder and CEO Justin Lafazan, you just ask questions.  Justin had a 'mid-life' crisis at 18 years old before beginning college, deferred his start and decided to go on a gap year.  As he began mapping out what he'd do, he was advised he should try to create something... he was ambitious enough to start to create a book and a conference aimed at younger, ambitious, entrepreneurial people much like himself.  And since then his life has been a whirlwind creating Next Gen Summit which counts thousands of the most successful teen- and 20-somethings in its ranks, hosts events and conferences across the country and inspires others.  But at the very start of all of this was that decision to use a book to ask questions of people he admired -- a lesson Justin believes everyone should apply.  As you'll hear from Justin, it's not necessarily about the finished product, but the process you go through to learn and meet amazing people.   What started as a gap year -- funny enough Justin *still* hasn't even graduated yet -- has led him on an epic adventure that in some ways is still just getting started. And hear how he continues to find excuses to have conversations with people he admires.
