#6: LJ Troilo | College Dropout, Entrepreneur People of LinkedIn

After being a stellar student in high school, LJ Troilo received a full scholarship to attend Temple University in Philadelphia. This would be a dream come true for most; but for LJ, going to college felt like a setback from his projects and goals. So after just one semester, he dropped out to focus on his entrepreneurial ventures. While this decision may seem unfounded from afar, it makes total sense when you learn about LJ’s past experiences and mindset. 

Throughout his entire life, LJ has been passionate about learning and creating. During a study abroad in Chile, he wanted to become fluent in Spanish. So conversed solely in Spanish, and self studied 4 years of material in just 2 months. The motivation? He just wanted it BAD. This is a theme that is consistent in LJ’s relentless work ethic and commitment to achieving his goals. Since high school, he has started two companies, and is now in the process of launching Ivee: an on-demand hangover-curing IV treatment delivery app!
