How do you organize huge events and connect with high-impact influencers like Mark Cuban and Gary Vee all while being under 20 years old? For the Managing Partner of Disrupt Ventures, Ja’dan Johnson (@officialjadan), it’s by being the type of person you don’t underestimate.
When most of us were thinking about girls, games and exams, Ja’dan was enrolling in Wharton Business School - he was on a quest for knowledge. Through shutting down his business and dropping out of university, twice, he discovered his passion for helping to grow businesses and formed the Disrupt Ventures incubator.
Through his non-profit organization Next Gen Creators, he’s showing the youth of Jamaica what’s possible in entrepreneurship and technology by curating some of the most engaging events covering tech, finance, art and music. Through DV he is teaching young entrepreneurs how to build world-class scalable businesses with topics like finance, innovation and design thinking. Awesome, right?!
In this episode we talk about:
· Why you should feed your ambition and confidence,
· How to craft solutions that fit your unique perspective,
· How to navigate the business world as a young founder or professional, and so much more!
