An entrepreneurial journey has to walk through various challenges, undulating moments and enlightening failures. Leaders who climb the business ladder accumulate many learning experiences. However, very few return the lessons they’ve learned to aspiring entrepreneurs. Two exceptional entrepreneurs who are passionate about helping others, however, are Eric Tippetts and Steven Chiang.
It takes passion, deep ingenuity, and sharpness to help other entrepreneurs build their own start-ups and to show them the way to take their businesses to the highest peaks. With massive experience of more than 25 years, Eric has built relationships with many top Fortune 500 companies like 3M, Proctor & Gamble, The Boeing Company, HP, and hundreds more as a serial entrepreneur. His skill sets involve understanding the challenges people are having and the obstacles that stand in their way, and creating technology solutions to bridge the challenges that get most people stumped. According to Eric, content creators, artists and influencers need to think like entrepreneurs. They must not only understand that mindset, but must put it into action consistently, each day, and create a road map leading to the results they are looking for in business and life. This dilemma led him into sales and marketing for many different companies and ultimately led him to China about eight years ago.
Consulting multiple companies in China led Eric to his partner, fellow serial entrepreneur Steven Chiang. The two became great friends and shared an authentic relationship built on trust. They view the world in the same way, and wanted to create a business ecosystem with more authenticity. As China is witnessing various frauds and scams, they came at their success in the process of trying to build tools and technology that would overcome a major issue they were having personally while building a previous company. That concern led to the inception of a new and fast growing Blockchain Internet Platform, NASGO.
Everything needs to have a Common Goal
NASGO is a Blockchain Internet Platform that integrates 4 technologies that include Decentralized Hosting, dAPP Store, Payment Gateway Utilizing Digital Currency, and Blockchain. The company is making Blockchain available to the mass market, globally. Eric and Steven created the NASGO platform to help connect the world in a more open, fair, and transparent way to allow people to communicate, collaborate, and innovate together with a common thread of trust.
When asked about the way to diversify NASGO’s solutions so as to make an impact on the lives of people, Eric believes that everything needs to have a common goal. He says, “I think that’s the issue. When you’re building technologies, too often there’s one that doesn’t talk to the other, or isn’t even in alignment with the other. That’s why when you get companies that try to merge or acquire a company where you may think, initially,”that has nothing to do with the other company.“That’s when you’ll discover that everything we’re building is diversified as far as what it’s doing, but that all of these parts lead up to the main goal of creating loyalty, creating a consistent brand and a favourable experience as well as a means of exchange. When you look at tokenizing a brand as a digital asset, it’s giving you the means to create a community from anywhere, even globally, that recognizes your brand. This is your brand token. This is an asset that people can use to interact with you, and they know that it’s you. It validates you.” He exemplifies the dilemma by giving an instance of VAPR, a blockchain decentralized application (dApp) on the NASGO platform. VAPR is a direct peer to peer experience sharing network that employs Augmented Reality (3D) transmissions that travel to mobile devices via satellite waves—there’s no internet connection required.
