Blaze Founder & CEO, Justin Lyons, welcomes Reno Perry. Reno is the Founder of nexplay (https://www.nexplay.io), a talent marketplace where college students can connect with seasoned professionals for mentorships. Reno’s inspiration for nexplay is rooted in his personal experience as the son of working class parents, including a mother who immigrated from the Philippines.  Reno was the first in his family to attend college and then found himself struggling to navigate the corporate world without the privilege of a network or mentors.  Despite these challenges, Reno found his path to success and has now made it his mission to ensure college kids from diverse background are afforded the opportunity to connect with mentors and develop their whole selves before they embark on their professional career. Joining Reno and Justin on this podcast, is Frankie Fabre, Founder of Fabre Media (https://www.fabremedia.com/).  Fabre Media builds cutting-edge content helping businesses grow authentic, relevant brands.  Like Reno, Frankie comes from a mixed race, working class family.  It is this perspective that fuels his commitment to anthenticity.   In this episode, enjoy some entrepreneurial insights, reflections on why our youth deserve deeper mentorships, and how growth mindsets needs to be developed from kindergarten all the way through college.
