Dom is a serial entrepreneur with a brand technology platform and has been in the digital marketing space very early on. I loved hearing how he talked about the pivots but one commonality is “impact” and how to make that impact within the organization. While the technologies and things in business will evolve and change, I liked that he focused on which is what doesn't change rather than trying to chase trends and predict what does change.
Inspired by Richard Branson, Elon Musk and Leonardo Da Vinci, Danny has succeeded in a variety of fields including software engineering, writing, photography, game designing, and more. He is continually improving his skillset by learning 3 skills every month.
