Billionaire's Advice to Students | Jim McKelvey, Co-Founder of Square

<p>How do you build a billion-dollar business? How did Square survive an attack from Amazon? What does it mean to be an "entrepreneur"?&nbsp;</p> <p>We finally got our dream guest – Jim McKelvey!! As someone who’s in the McKelvey School of Engineering at WashU, I was super excited to have him on my podcast. Jim McKelvey is a serial entrepreneur, most well known for founding Square with Jack Dorsey (CEO of Twitter). If you’re not sure what Square is, whenever you walk into a store and you see a white device for swiping your cards when you pay, that is probably Square.</p> <p>Jim's book The Innovation Stack can be found <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Innovation-Stack-Building-Unbeatable-Business/dp/0593086732">here</a>.</p> <p>This episode is a joint interview with <a href="https://thetakeoff.substack.com/">The Takeoff</a>!
