About this episode
Whenever we hear about extremely successful entrepreneurs, especially those who achieved success at a young age, we tend to assume it happened overnight. However, this definitely is not the case. There are challenges and obstacles every entrepreneur has to overcome to reach their levels of success. The journey starts during our childhood years and continues down a long, hard road. Dylan Jacob’s story exemplifies this perfectly.

BrüMate was also recently named number 14 on Inc.’s 5000 List, which highlights the top 5,000 fastest-growing companies in America. The most amazing thing of all is that Dylan has built all this and he’s only 26. Tune in to hear about the many obstacles he has overcome to achieve the accolades he has today.
