This is Piyush Patel - I Want To Change The World

On this episode I chatted with Piyush Patel about his entrepreneurial journey. Last fall I had the opportunity to tour Piyush's home in OKC and boy is it special. Almost as special as his story and message for you all today. Piyush grew up in El Reno Oklahoma and learned the value of hard work and gratitude from a young age. However, culturally his parents wanted him to become one of three things. To which Piyush did not take to very enthusiastically. So he joined the military to pay for his schooling and became a teacher. Working part time at the local radio station at OSU he noticed a room. A special room where people spent hours and hours in, that room was the animation room. He was hooked, marrying his passion for teaching and learning animation his business was born. I'll let Piyush take it from here. This story is just one of many example of the opportunity that this incredible country presented to immigrants like myself and Piyush. The American dream is a real thing and we are living examples of that dream.
