review 1: I found this book incredibly well-written, eye-opening and witty. Yang gives an honest account of his path to success and shares his vision of why he founded Venture for America and how they are striving to create 100,000 jobs by 2025 via the redistribution of our nation's best and brightest talent. He provides a solid call to action that can truly help re-establish entrepreneurship as a defined and attainable post-collegiate path. His book has inspired me to solve problems by building solutions.
review 2: This is a game changer for go-getter college students who are looking to take the path less traveled. Having worked at start ups myself, I really see the value in Andrew Yang's strong and clear message. Our growth as a country is slowed down by all of the top... more talent being funneled into large corporations. Rather, we should build them into small companies that these young, talented people can bring into large ones. My one and only suggestion is that some of the action steps in the book be more specific and executable for the reader. I did not see a call to action at the end that specifically pertained to me, but I know that everyone can make a difference is getting college graduates to see the value of working for start ups. less
