This is a speech I gave to the Collegiate Entrepreneurs' Organization of Clarkson University on April 6, 2011. I wanted to share the story of what I have been doing along my journey towards becoming an entrepreneur one day. I believe the Internet has changed *everything* for aspiring entrepreneurs looking to learn how to start a startup and connect with people who can help them succeed now and in the future.
