S4 Bonus: Building Dual-Sided Marketplaces: The Tech Architecture Powering Aspireship with Jason Riedel

Jason Riedel was drawn to technology as a 9 year old. He knew what he wanted to do with his life, falling into the tech world - and as such, he didn't attend college. Music was his first love (or second, he debates which came first), though he is not a musician. He has produced music in the past, creating beats for artists. Interesting fact about Jason - he ran a hip hop label for 8 years on the side. The way he puts it, he used to make money through IT and spend money through building a hip hop label. He's married with 2 kids, and is into nutrition - though that tends to fall to the wayside, cause kids will only eat what they are going to eat. Starting as a nights and weekends side project, he and his co-founder created a way for driven individuals to transform their future through learning and opportunity.
