In this episode of Leaders Create Leaders, Entrepreneur Network partner Gerard Adams sits down with Entrepreneur Network partner Peter Voogd. Two millennial mentors who achieved massive success at a young age, Adams and Voogd talk about how they always resisted being put in a box, from their schooling days on, and how they always felt a pull toward independence and creativity.

Most importantly, Voogd and Adams explain how their drive, passion and work ethic allowed them to succeed simply because they wanted it more than everyone else and believed in themselves enough to go out and get it.
