Stephen Holt’s story of success will inspire you no matter where you are in business. In 1987, while a student at Georgetown, Stephen studied abroad in China and later traveled to Tibet. It was in Tibet that he pondered what he would do with the rest of his life…go off to corporate world or start his own business. As he stared at the child yak herder Stephen made up his mind and decided to not “work for the man”. With no experience in business and little money, Stephen (with the help of his roommates) turned his college apartment into corporate headquarters. Tonight, Stephen reveals the idea that has made him millions and how he managed to navigate his way through the ups and downs of starting a business.
