Justin Lafazan and Dylan Gambardella are Co-Founders and CEOs of NextGen HQ, a mentorship platform dedicated to helping Next Generation Leaders succeed at work and life. And when I first heard about this platform, I knew I had to talk to the people who created it. I had the benefit of wonderful mentors and friends who supported me along my own growth journey, and I really don't think I would have gotten here without that support. So I feel compelled to pay it forward — and it has been really fulfilling talking to and working with Justin and Dylan so far. For other leaders out there, I hope these two are inspiring for you as they were to me — and for the younger listeners, I hope you're able to find the same kind of support I had in learning to “win” at work and life, as Dylan and Justin say.

Bet: Will this be the most downloaded podcast in W/M history?? JOIN US IRL: www.instagram.com/wisemillennial Dylan Gambardella and Justin Lafazan, Co-Founders of "NextGen HQ" sit down remotely to discuss “The Momentum Movement”, their global business hub supporting entrepreneurs to "fire them up and chase their dreams", their journey from meeting at a high school party to attending Duke and Wharton, respectively, founding their first startup "Students4Students", before founding NextGen in 2014. We discuss the importance of freedom and momentum (and what kills it), Why entrepreneurship is so tough? And how to break past that?, Constant validation/dealing with negative feedback, Importance of a co-founder, If and when to accept failure (secret: never), How to monetize and measure TAM and KPI's, and their Vision for the future of entrepreneurship.JOIN THE MOVEMENT AND SIGN UP FOR THEIR NEWSLETTER, CLICK "GET MOMENTUM" ON THEIR WEBSITE: https://nextgenhq.com/INSTA: @nextgenhqINTERVIEW QUESTIONS:Can you briefly explain to the audience what exactly is NextGenHQ and NextGen summit?Why were you so resistant to going into the traditional corporate world?Shifting gears to nextgen. Why do you focus on momentum as the primary focus for nextgen? Why is momentum so difficult to obtain? Or can you boil it down to simply a lack of self confidence and negative self talk? And related, how have you struggled with momentum in your professional lives?Do you think our generation needs constant validation?Is it important to have a cofounder? Does that help solve the momentum problem? You also recognize that many startups fail. You talk a lot about supporting the entrepreneur's journey, as opposed to an incubator. What was the opportunity you saw which didn't exist? Do you guys not accept idea of failure? I mean it's one thing to be energized and talk yourself up, and don't get me wrong, that's a crucial ingredient to potential success. I mean, at what point do you say to yourself, “I've been doing this for X number of years. I spent X number of dollars. This just isn't working. It's not the right idea, or it's not the right timing”? Talk to me about monetization and your business model (which may be changing with covid). How did you come to a conference-based monetization strategy? Why not charge dues or create a private membership model instead of just a free facebook community? Or is the model more of a freemium model, to ramp up user engagement first, then start charging for services later?What are your KPI's and internal metrics that define success for you? Is it number of tickets sold? Number of facebook group members? The reason I ask is because you guys are working double time, not only are you trying to grow your network of users, but at the same time you're trying to convince enterprise companies of your legitimacy and leveraging your community strength in hopes they'll sponsor or partner with you.Let's talk about Gen Z and Millennials. I've noticed though that a large majority of your core user base is Gen Z. I'm wondering if you can shed light on why that is, and the differences you've learned between these two generations?What's your biggest challenge to growth? Is it just awareness?What is something you wish someone had told you five years ago, or you had told yourself, that you had to learn on your own? But would have made life so much easier had you known?What is the best way for listeners to get more involved?
Justin Lafazan and Dylan Gambardella believe that entrepreneurs can and should control their own destinies. That's why in 2014 they started NextGen: to empower entrepreneurs to design the lives they want to live and achieve their purpose. They believe entrepreneurship is really, really hard and as Co-Founders and CEOs of their own lives, they know this all too well. But they are driven, driven to help entrepreneurs overcome the obstacles that get in the way. Their business helps energize entrepreneurs on their path to freedom and success. The best part is they are just getting started. They are all about taking ownership of their journey, growing 1% each day, and chasing their dreams together with their fellow community. In this episode of the One Away Show, Justin and Dylan discuss how they would be lost without the help of brand architect Rich Keller. He helped them discover their one word which would allow them to propel their brand and mission.

On this bonus "library" episode, you'll hear what Justin Lafazan -- founder and CEO of Next Gen Summit and the author of What Wakes You Up?: Designing Kick-Ass Lives Through Entrepreneurship -- is reading, writing and thinking about creating next.
How do you build the largest network in the world of ambitious and successful 20-somethings? According to Next Gen Summit founder and CEO Justin Lafazan, you just ask questions. Justin had a 'mid-life' crisis at 18 years old before beginning college, deferred his start and decided to go on a gap year. As he began mapping out what he'd do, he was advised he should try to create something... he was ambitious enough to start to create a book and a conference aimed at younger, ambitious, entrepreneurial people much like himself. And since then his life has been a whirlwind creating Next Gen Summit which counts thousands of the most successful teen- and 20-somethings in its ranks, hosts events and conferences across the country and inspires others. But at the very start of all of this was that decision to use a book to ask questions of people he admired -- a lesson Justin believes everyone should apply. As you'll hear from Justin, it's not necessarily about the finished product, but the process you go through to learn and meet amazing people. What started as a gap year -- funny enough Justin *still* hasn't even graduated yet -- has led him on an epic adventure that in some ways is still just getting started. And hear how he continues to find excuses to have conversations with people he admires.
Justin Lafazan may be young, but he has already been able make his mark on the entrepreneurial community. He started by creating Students4Students College Advisory, a higher education consulting firm and full-service digital marketing company. He now focuses his time the Next Gen Summit. Next Gen is a global community and conference for the brightest young entrepreneurs worldwide to connect and collaborate, and get access to the resources necessary for personal and professional growth.
