Aza Steel from CoDream and GoGuardian

The Podcast is back!! After a little hiatus (Thank you AP Exams ;), I was excited to debut the podcast again with Mr Steel! Starting his career at UCLA, where he majored in Sociology, Mr Steel started his first company (GoGuardian) in a different direction. After his friend’s backpack was stolen (and in it was his personal computer), Mr Steel decided to create a Chromebook tracker to recover the device in case of a robbery. Posting it to the Chrome Store, it quickly generated traction. Listening to his customers, his prowess soon expanded and he began creating other features mostly by the request of school teachers. And so GoGuardian was born, and with it a crazy ride. After scaling his idea to a billion dollar company, he took a prolonged vacation for several years, going on many adventures and learning a lot. Now starting with a new program, he’s decided to impart his knowledge onto the next generation of entrepreneurs. CoDream is an incubator in Hawaii that might change the traditional startup ecosystem. I was especially excited to catch him at the moment I did, as CoDream is in its infancy. Looking back on my own break from the podcast, and picking it up again, I realize that no matter how many answers you may have, you will always have more questions.
