Jacob Foss;

 

Like Billy Hoyle in White Man Can't Jump, I'm out here hustling since day one. My third grade classmates never stood a chance - from selling Airheads on the bus to Krispy Kream's in the hallways. $0 in personal investments, 100% outside funding (thanks, mom...hustled her too) and looking back, cashed in 90% profits (if anyone reading this is in 3rd grade, let's talk). I apparently had some entrepreneurial spirit before learning what the word meant.

​

I've even learned a few things since 3rd grade:

~Criticism is currency. Seek it, absorb it, go out of your way to find it.

~You're not a limited byproduct of your formal education and 9:5. Even a bloke like me built half a dozen global brands with >100 products, a dozen global supply chains, a real estate investment company, invented a battery sticker and a functional recovery ice cream for professional athletes without prior education in any of the topics. Society shepherds us along one path to one field. That path is fine, but if you want multiple fields, start taking multiple paths. 

​

A question I'll leave you with:

How many times has a story of poverty come on the news during dinner and the extent of our response is a shake of the head, an utter of injustice and a return to conversation as we scoop more food on our plates with a literal silver spoon? If you're also fed up with this being the extent of action, shoot me a message. Or create a path to your own field.
