emerging leader interview: Danny Bocanegra

emerging leader interview with Danny Bocanegra from John Exley on Vimeo.

My first emerging leader interview ever! My good friend the young entrepreneur Danny Bocanegra is a former all-star Wide Receiver at the University of Albany who has founded the company Selfless Tees. Selfless Tees is a lifestyle brand and clothing company on a social mission. The company crowd-sources its designs and gives a percentage of profits to partners, which are charities and nonprofits. Danny is a grad student and he spent the summer volunteering in Africa, which accelerated his dream to launch his venture.

In my interview, Danny talks about his awesome experience in Africa and how he sold t-shirts to fund the trip and donate mosquito nets to people in need. Finally, Danny talks about the reward and advantages he sees from starting a company in college. The way he has grown from and applied his leadership experience in Africa and as a successful football player to his entrepreneurial pursuits has positioned him as an emerging leader.
