Speaking more on Youth Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Mr. Browne highlighted how innovation can be as simple as utilizing the resources available to you creatively to ensure efficiency and profitability. He related his success to his strategic and cost-effective approach of utilizing social media to reaching his target market.
He continues to urge young entrepreneurs to be resilient and always strive for greatness because they must understand that failure is part of being an entrepreneur, and if you take those failures and use them as learning experiences. Real-world experience, even failure itself, will teach you more than you would ever learn in a classroom.
