” Earlier in my career as an entrepreneur I had this novel idea I had shared with my friends and business owners. They were all supportive. After a year of building all this and launching the platform, there was not as much adoption as anticipated. I ended up spending a lot of time, money and resources building something that wasn’t useful. “ – – Yo Sub Kwon
