The American Entrepreneur

No “Junk” Here:  Ron Morris Talks With A Pair of Successful Young Entrepreneurs

Nick Friedman, Omar Soliman, Deno DeCiantis, Dan Leri

How did a company that started out as “just another moving service” evolve into one of the most successful companies of ANY industry in the country?  Would you believe Nick Friedman and Omar Soliman, the co-founders of College Hunks Hauling Junk, if they told you they did it “effortlessly”?  Maybe you would, or maybe you wouldn’t, but either way, you’ll want to hear them tell their story, including the philosophies espoused in their new book, “Effortless Entrepreneur” to “The American Entrepreneur” Ron Morris.  Plus, Ron reconnects with our friends from the Penn State Center, Deno DeCiantis and Dan Leri, who will continue their discussion about all that the Penn State Center has to offer, including Penn State’s Innovation Park and Research Commercialization facilities, which Dan oversees.
