In this inspiring episode of NXT GEN presented by Pitch Labs, we sit down with youth entrepreneur and changemaker Jahkil Jackson, the founder of Project I Am.

Named a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and CNN Young Wonder, Jahkil shares how he turned a simple act of kindness into a global movement. We dive into his journey as a social entrepreneur, the challenges of leading a nonprofit as a teen, and the mindset that fuels his passion for impact. He also shares practical advice for other young innovators looking to change the world.
Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a purpose-driven leader, or simply in need of some serious inspiration—this episode is for you.
