Building Empor out of my dorm room.

Here's the brutal reality of building a 7-figure startup while grinding through 100-hour work weeks. In this vlog, I’ll take you through my day as I squeeze in a half marathon, attend the Dobson Lean Startup Program, hit a wall with web sockets in my Spring Boot backend (not fun), and even meet up with a Forbes 30 under 30 CEO. It’s a real glimpse into what it’s like to code, problem-solve, and juggle the highs and lows of startup life. It’s not easy, but this is what it takes.
