How / when did the idea of your website / company come about?

Well five years ago I wanted to send an email from my address but had no access to my computer. So looked for a website to let me send my email from the address I choose, but couldn’t. So I decided to build one myself.

I later noticed that its main use was for pranks and so I used that avenue to expose the website.

If you could give readers of this book one piece of advice what would it be?

Don’t ever let anyone tell you "it won’t work" if it’s unique, there are enough people in the world who, just like you, will think your idea is great.

Who are your role models / mentors and why?
