Interview with featured student entrepreneur Winnie Lai by WomanzWorld

http://womanzworld.com/entrepreneurs/why-young-entrepreneurs-are-good-fo...

"I love the energy and enthusiasm of young entrepreneurs. I’ve been privileged to meet several dynamos recently that make me wish I’d delved into the world of entrepreneurship earlier.

Winnie Lai is one of these people. I met her over coffee last week and figured she was the last person in the world who needed caffeine.

High on life this energiser bunny was keen to discuss all the reasons why being an entrepreneur is the only way to live your life.

She made me forget the challenging times when you just wish you could head to a cushy job (let’s face it we’ve all had those moments). Instead I felt like running off to start more businesses.

Our partner organization BES (Bootup Entrepreneurial Society - http://www.bootup.ca) is organizing an event for anyone who is interested in the Future of web and mobile gaming. The event is split up in two parts:

1) Reception/Keynote on July 24
2) One day, hands on Workshop July 25 (limited availability for 50-75 attendees max)

The team from Unity are flying in to present on Friday night and teach the workshop on Saturday.

If you are interested in attending the event, I could get you a student discount code for both events - just drop me an email (winnie.lai@vsea.ca)

Here are some more deets about the event: http://bootup.ca/events/unity-3d-%E2%80%9Cthe-future-of-web-and-mobile-g...
