Sean Valentine and Landon Miller talk with Dave Rael about the Hidden Genius Project, mentoring and growing young black men, male role models, and human connections

The Hidden Genius Project was founded in 2012 by five black male entrepreneurs/technologists who were unnerved by the dramatic juxtaposition between the high unemployment of black male youth and the plethora of career opportunities within the local technology sector. To address this challenge, the founders established a program to connect underserved, young black males with the skills, mentors, and experiences that they need to become high-performing entrepreneurs and technologists in a 21st century, global economy.

Landon's top 3 tips for delivering more value:

Sean's top 3 tips for delivering more value:

  2. Make your mistakes out loud
  3. Share what you have with the world - be a giver rather than a taker
