Last week I had the opportunity to meet two very interesting people on a trip up to Seattle.

The first person I want to let all of our readers know about is a young entrepreneur named James Sun, who started the company zoodango.com. James has an awesome personal story, which you can watch on video below,

about how he and his family immigrated to the United States, how he began investing while in college, and then went on to start his own company. Oh yeah, he also managed to have a TV stint on the The Apprentice and met Donald Trump and Arnold Schwarzenegger! James is a great example about why it’s so important, and possible, for anyone to begin investing at a young age. Zoodango also has a cool competition going on to search for a co-host for Zoodango on their homepage. Check it out.

The second person I had a chance to meet was Peter van Stolk, the CEO and founder of Jones Soda Company. While we only met briefly, Peter was gracious enough to let me and Chris Lahiji (one of our brass Take 2 columnists) have seats in his box at Seahawks Stadium for Monday Night Football. It was my first NFL experience, and it was a blast! That’s all for now. Hope these two can serve as an inspiration to all of you interested in investing or starting your own business.

Jones Soda has those cool labels with pictures of people that are always changing. It's essentially user-generated branding! I poked around and you can submit photos here: http://www.jonessoda.com/files/yrlab.php
