    Washington Post Interview -    Dene's Winding Path

    This article first appeared in the Washington Post. It is reproduced here for people outside the US who can't access it. "I’m a living paradox." - Dene Botha "I met Dene three years ago via LinkedIn. He asked to chat. I almost always say yes to such a request–unless you are obviously trying to sell me something I’ve not requested. As a former professional surfer, tv show host, reality show winner, rhino activist, forex trader, realtor, etc. he’s lived enough professional lives for several people. Dene, 41, dropped out of school at 15 to pursue professional surfing and now works as an entrepreneur. He resides in Cornwall, England and is the COO at Earniversity- The School of Earning - a virtual business school for young people who want to learn digital skills and earn real money, in real time. This is his extremely circuitous and winding path." - Russ Finkelstein
