I fell in love with Kid President several years ago on YouTube, and this talk reminded me why. So inspirational. I was especially moved by Brad's description about feeling at a personal low point, then deciding to publish the pep talk that he needed to hear himself. That is brilliance and makes me want to do the same. Being a solo entrepreneur is hard and we need our cheerleaders -- even if we are those cheerleaders ourselves. Thanks, Brad and Kid President!
nice :)
This is still gold
