Mashable is a news media site that is used by millions each month. The story of the brain behind the site is truly fascinating. The site was founded in 2005 when he was only 19 years old. Peter spent a lot of his childhood reading/subscribing to blogs and learning computers. He missed school more than the average student and spent his time on the computer to make up for his education. Peter Cashmore would stay up all night working on his own blog and trying to build his followers. He would stay up during the night mostly because he lived in Scotland; and he needed to be awake writing and blogging during US hours. This is the perfect example of using just plain, old hard work to grow your business. Currently, Mashable has built a huge following and is continuing to grow today.

Very interesting how millennials can find so much success so quickly, especially in media platforms
What an incredible story of hard work. It is a great reminder to work hard because so much in life has come so easy. Whether this be school, necessities, or college. Peter Cashmore is an example of how hard work will produce success.
