Early life

After high school, Schlossberg attended the University of Chicago, where he studied history. Hurwitz went to the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, with Josh Heald who lived in the same dorm with him during freshman year. Schlossberg frequently came to visit Hurwitz at Penn, and thus got to know him as well. Schlossberg graduated from the University of Chicago with a degree in History in 2000. His original goal was to study law.{{cite web
