I have many people I look up to online. I am inspired by everyone. I would not have learned ONE thing about computers, if it wasn’t for Josh Rath. Josh always streamed and gave people on his stream, computer help. I payed a lot of attention and realized how it worked. I started to get involved with Youtube and then that led to blogging. Besides the point, I have learned so much from all these icons online. It is very important to me to have icons. I haven’t heard anything out of Josh in awhile, so sadly, I won’t include him, but I remember him. Here is a list of the top 10 people I look up to right now (in no order).
1. Xavier Lur – Owner of this very network. Has showed me a teen can build something big.
2. Leo Laporte – Owner of TWiT. Has showed me hardwork pays off with a 1.5-2 million dollar profit for his company this year, doubling each year.
3. Daniel Bru – Owner of Teens in Tech and writer on Tech Crunch. Has showed me a teen can write for the “big boys”.
4. Michael Arrington – Owner of Tech Crunch. Has showed me how to blog.
5. Gary Vaynerchuck – Owner of Wine Library TV. Has taught me how to do this buisness.
6. Kevin Rose – Owner of Digg. Has showed me a big brand can be built, while risking it all.
7. Daisy Whitney – Producer at TWiT. Has showed me a woman knows more about social media then a bunch of guys (lol, but it’s true).
8. Sarah Lane – Producer at TWiT. Has showed me a great personality, can make a show succesful.
9. Chris Pirillo – Owner of Lockergnome. Has showed me community is important for your product.
10. Abby Laporte – Producer at TWiT. Has showed me any teen can make podcasts, it just takes talent.
I encourage any writer on Tech Xav to make a post like this! Any of you readers can tell me in the comments below, I am interested to hear!
