While it was mostly computer hardware, in the middle of a CompUSA, he had a fixed routine. The $70 million worth of investor continued and mentioned that he’d get on the headset with a big TV behind him. Then, Ohanian would demo video games such as Madeline, and language learning software.

And I’d have the same routine for like, 15 minutes, every 30 minutes, and literally, no one would be watching. And here I’m, this teenager going through puberty,” he added. Therefore, people would approach the young Ohanian. However, their approach was not exactly what he would have hoped for.

Without reservation, he disclosed, “People would walk up to me and be like, no one’s listening, kid. Just stop, no one is listening, and it’s like, I don’t blame you for hating me, but it was great. Because it got all of my public speaking fears out of the way. Because I spent two years being ignored, every, every 30 minutes.”
