You can only fall so far. We all know what’s in us—how strong we are, or what our skill sets are. What’s the worst that can happen?
About Jason
- I was born and raised in Wyoming.
- I went to Montana for college and got involved in the school newspaper.
- As a junior in college, I was offered a position as a news anchor for Butte, Bozeman, and Helena, Montana, so I left school early and took the job.
- After a few years, I decided to look for other job opportunities—I wasn’t doing as much reporting as I wanted and I didn’t want to move to the East Coast in order to be successful in television.
- I ended up getting a job doing public relations for an outdoor company back home in Wyoming.
- While working in public relations, I came up with a business model for a more efficient digital press kit.
- After coming into some money while visiting Las Vegas for a trade show, I started Pitchengine, a marketing software company—within a year, over 20,000 brands were using Pitchengine.
- The success of Pitchengine incentivized me to try some other entrepreneurial endeavors, including Lifekey, a company that creates products that use NFC technology to solve a variety of problems.
