A Commitment To Youth
Some individuals are just born selfless. They live their lives with a purpose; a purpose to enlighten the lives of people around them; to enlighten the lives of people less fortunate.
Sometimes it’s up bringing, sometimes it’s a relationship, sometimes it’s a new experience and sometimes it’s reflection on the life you have lived. Whatever this something is, it clicks. It makes sense and the passion you have is more powerful than anything you will have experienced.

- Lance Armstrong has felt this passion
- Brett Wilson has felt this passion
- Max Keeping has felt this passion
- Ray Zahab has felt this passion
- Danny Brown has felt this passion
- Matt Scobel has felt this passion
- Tuan Nguyen has felt this passion
- My best friends and I have felt this passion
You may not recognize the names of all of these people, but all of them are successful at doing one thing. Using passion to provide inspiration. To me, inspiration is the most important aspect of my life.
I am inspired everyday:
- by my parents and brother who have helped me grow to where I am today
- by my professors, mentors, and business partners who motivate me with their wisdom and their drive
- by my friends who all live their lives to the fullest
- by the people I listed above
With that being said, I realize the power of youth if they are inspired. The power of youth if they have passion and the power of youth if they are given a chance.
Over the next few weeks, members of the Netgen Team and young entrepreneurs around the city of Ottawa are planning some exciting new initiatives, focused on inspiration and helping youth find their passion…
