When we first launched GetSchooled.com, we hosted a panel event along with New York Entrepreneur Week that featured speakers Marc Ecko, Kevin Powell, and Joel Human recounting their roads to success and offering inspiration to an audience of 200 at-risk NYC students.

Kevin Powell is a political activist, poet, and entrepreneur. Here, he puts forth some closing comments to the student audience, challenging them to think past mere survival and start focusing on the future. “Where do you see yourself 5, 10, 25 years from now?” he asks. “What’s your legacy going to be?”
