It’s Dukes Week at Awesomepreneur. On Tuesday, we brought you fellow York alum, Erik Stonikas, and today we bring you another proud Duke and awesomepreneur we love, Danielle Albert. I had my eye on Danielle back when Awesomepreneur was barely the apple of my eye. Danielle comes from a long line of awesome people–her brother, [...]

Since launching Awesomepreneur, our weekly Awesomepreneurs We Love spotlight has become my favorite blog series–yours, too, it seems. Our interviews with awesomepreneurs across the world are the most-trafficked posts on our site, which couldn’t make me happier because it means I’m hooking you up with some amazing people whose wisdom you might not otherwise enjoy.
