Hey Matthew, great list of inspiring songs for young entrepreneurs. Among these songs, I like Remember the Name by Fort Minor and Lose Yourself by Eminem, the most. Furthermore, I would also like to add another great song to the list i.e. Hall of Fame by The Script & William. Have you listened it yet?
Thanks for taking the time to comment! Just listened to Hall of Fame and loved it! Thx for sharing! Cheers!
