It’s different for everyone. If you have the opportunity to accelerate learning by going to college, do it. If you don’t have the option, go learn it the hard way like Rob did. Either road can lead to success. Rob didn’t go to college. In fact, he dropped out of high school and became a professional skateboarder. While his journey to entrepreneurship is a unique one, so is yours. The simple fact is, the more knowledge you have, the less mistakes you make, and the clearer your path to success. While there is no substitute for experience, education can bridge gaps and accelerate proactive learnings. Without formal schooling, it’s on you to educate yourself in all facets of business -- seek out answers, ask the right questions, and learn what you don’t know as fast as possible. No matter your level of education when you begin your first company, it’s still going to be trial by fire to some extent. And joining us on this episode from deep within the burning fires of entrepreneurship are two very impressive founders from the UCLA Anderson Venture Accelerator Program: Jeff Gum is a former Navy SEAL who drew inspiration for his company, Sunga Life, from his travels to Brazil and military workout gear. He’s currently on track to top $1million in swimwear sales in 2021. https://www.sungalife.com/ Tori Brodsky is a nutritionist by education who takes hydration very seriously, especially when you drink alcohol. She created DrinkLyte, which delivers medical grade hydration in two delicious flavors, one for the end of the night and one for the next morning, to stave off those nasty hangovers. https://drinklyte.co/ Rob links: subscribe: @Dyrdek Machine website: www.dyrdekmachine.com instagram: @dyrdekmachine @robdyrdek twitter: @dyrdekmachine UCLA Anderson: website: https://www.anderson.ucla.edu/about/centers/price-center-for-entrepreneurship-and-innovation/anderson-venture-accelerator social: @uclaanderson @andersonentrepreneurship

Drinking tonight? Don't pay for an IV tomorrow. Prevent hangovers by ending your night with MoonLyte and starting tomorrow with SunLyte. With better taste, better convenience, and ingredients and electrolytes optimized for adults, DrinkLyte is a no-brainer. Watch and learn how Victoria came up with the concept and how it can help with your rehydration after a hangover.
