The GOAT

Tom Brady has shown us time and time again what he is about on the field. Leading the Patriots to six super bowl wins. Besides the fact that he is the greatest of all time, he has also used his platform to his advantage. Unlike other quarterback Tom is playing at a peak in his career at the age of 42, for a quarterback in the NFL this is unheard of; and he isn’t even playing on retiring anytime soon. This is all thanks to his top of the line fitness and nutrition lifestyle he calls “the TB12 Method”. He has used this methImage result for tom brady tb12od to market his lifestyle to his fans.

Father of Social Networking

Mark Zuckerburg is probably one of the most influential businessman of our time. The creator of the social networking world we live in today. If it wasn’t for this man we wouldn’t quite be living the same way we are today. Before everything was face to face; interaction with each other on an intent level, and there was no social media. This young man from Harvard came up with an idea that revolutionized the way humans communicate with each other. The social media platform we all know today as Facebook is the reason for where we are today.

Facebook was the start of everything and then it became Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, etc. they all work interchangeably. Every person living in our generation has all of these things in the palm of their hands and a click away. It’s crazy to think about it but it’s the truth of our generation without it we wouldn’t be the same. Zuckerburg might not of created all these other social media platforms but he essentially created a market. Once there is a market for something that is untapped and available then other entrepreneurs find their niche in the system. He is a pure genius; it was all part of a master plan that most aren’t aware of. By creating Facebook he created something greater than himself; he created something that knows all of us, he is the father of social networking.
