Zach Medina | Co-Founder of Viral Ideas Marketing (PART 2)

At the young age of 16, where most kids are out playing video
games or trying to attend their friends sweet 16 parties, Zach
Medina created Shockwave Entertainment. Which was a party
planning and entertainment company that helped teenagers and
their families with their parties. At the early of his career,
Zach didn't know he was an entrepreneur. As a kid, Zach was
always looking for ways to make money, even before his first
official business he decided to become a caddy. In which as a kid
7th grader, he carried golf bags that gave him $50 a day! He
thought "shoot, I can do something here!" Next, eBay came out and
like any hustler/young entrepreneur would do, he started selling
stuff on the platform. He would buy broken iPods, fix them, and
then later resell them for profit. Not once during this time,
Zach thought he was an entrepreneur. It didn't dawn on him until
people started calling him one. During his time at high school he
ran track. There he met one of his first DJ's that helped him
start his business. Zach is grateful for his first official
business (Shockwave Entertainment) because it kept him out of
trouble. Every weekend, Zach was doing something for his business
and basically got paid to party. Shockwaves Entertainment was
created in junior year of high school and during college he then
started an app called Fixation. (Which is now more of a hobby
than anything else.) Zach had no idea what he was doing, when he
first built the app. The app itself was a video story telling
app. There were a lot of struggles but he went ahead and
presented it to his target market. He realized from feedback that
the app did too much. Update after update he failed and went back
to the drawing board. Finally landing on Viral Ideas which is
where he spends his sweat equity on today. #Timestamps 00:30
