Meet 15-year old Silicon Valley-based Daniel Brusilovsky. He wears many hats. He is an entrepreneur, blogger, vblogger and podcaster. His show is called the Apple Universe. He also works part-time at Qik, the real-time video streaming startup.
Daniel recently launched his startup TeensinTech and is in talks with lawyers and VCs and is very savvy about marketing and PR. He considers Robert Scoble as his second father.
I met Daniel at the BlogHer conference and was intrigued by the amount of paraphernalia he was lugging around: MacBook, 2 mobile phones, video camera and mic, tripod, and other miscellaneous items. He was multitasking: twittering, emailing, prepping for interviews and shooting his interviews. He is extremely focused and knows what he wants to do. I wish I had taken a shot of his busy, busy Google calendar that he showed.
In this free-wheeling video interview Daniel talks about his show, his startup and college. After high school should he or should he not go to college? What do you think? Tune in to find out.

I think Brusilovsky is attempting somewhat early what Mark Zubenberg of the Facebook fame and the Google duo have attempted at/after college days.We should also remember that the celebrated Bill Gates himeself was a Harvard drop out when he co-founded what has becoming the world’s richest company,the Microsoft.While,Brusilovsky may be prodigious,college education may help still broaden his horizons and come up with better inventions/innovaions that help the world to become more’inclusive’.
Hi there,
Brusiovsky can take also be smug coz of the fact that some of the pathfinding inventors,scientists like Edison,Einstein are either school dropouts or fared badly in academics at school or college.As Edison famously said,genius is 99% perspiration and one percent inspiration
