blockquoteThe day after graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design, entrepreneur and designer Joe Gebbia answered this question by plunging into the unknown: foregoing a steady job to start his own company. Since then, Joe has received worldwide press for patenting his internationally distributed product, launching a Web-based sustainable materials library, creating a peer-to-peer travel Web site, and licensing a product he literally found in the garbage. His work has been featured in Time Magazine, BusinessWeek and Fortune. /blockquote
