John McMahon is a seasoned entrepreneur with over a decade of experience building and scaling businesses. Throughout his career, he has started multiple ventures, each one contributing to his understanding of the entrepreneurial landscape.
His most notable accomplishment began in 2017 and flourished in 2020 when his social media business quickly expanded during a burst of web traffic brought on by the "work from home" orders that accompanied Covid 19. During his entrepreneurial journey, he began to appreciate the aspects of education he had long neglected and John now plans to complete his Bachelor's degree in Business Management this school year. He has hopes of transitioning his entrepreneurial experience into a successful legal career as John plans to take the Law School Admissions Test this fall.
