Railroad Freight Industry Leader Greg Aziz

Greg Aziz is a business and economic expert that founded and currently runs the website Dynamic Markets. In this article, Greg talks about his time in North Korea and how it helped him decide to start a railroad freight company. He also discusses what led into this decision and how having freedom involved directly in business has taken his company to new heights.

 

In my opinion, it is important for people who are interested in entrepreneurship or international trade to read through this article because they may learn some valuable information from Greg Aziz´s journey with these topics. After graduating from the University of Chicago with a degree in economics, the businessman decided to go to North Korea in hopes of building a company similar to Google.  As it turns out, Greg did manage to find some success with his company.

 

This was similar to Google and then went on to do some other great things. I was fortunate enough to learn about his journey through an interview he gave on the Steve Gorman show, which is on KEOK radio. During this interview, Greg Aziz talks about what led him into starting his first company and how he got there. He also talks about his time in North Korea and what business challenges he had to overcome.

Overall, I think this article was very interesting because it gives an inside look into what Greg did while he was in North Korea. In general, I would say that business owners should learn from failures and the experiences of people like the successful businessman because they can teach them a lot about what it takes to start a company. Greg Aziz helped in building a company that made search and email easy to use and this has taken his company to the top.

Greg says that he wants to inspire other people and he hopes that by writing this article, people will be inspired by his story as well. This is just one of many ways that Greg Aziz wants to inspire others. As a student of business, I learned about how he and his partner came up with the idea for Dynamic Markets. I found out about what it meant for them to be free, which was very important. It may seem strange but these were the main driving factors behind Greg’s determination to start his own business from North Korea.
