🎧︎ EP14. Balancing Work-Life Harmony with Danny Hwang, Founder & CEO, NPX Point Avenue ‘06
Episode Summary — This episode features an interview with Danny Hwang. Danny is the Founder & CEO of education technology company Point Avenue, and a Partner at NPX Capital.
On this episode, Danny shares the major setbacks he overcame at West Point, how mentors like his brother shaped his life, and what you should be striving for instead of work-life balance.
“First is what I call work-life harmony. There's no such thing as work-life balance because that automatically assumes that those are two competing forces. And I always remind people including myself, that if you want to build success, the grinding, the hard work, the sacrifice, that is a must. There are no freebies.” — Danny Hwang
