Quotes from Jared Kleinert:
- “By 20 I had my own consulting business that was profitable, revenue generating with amazing clients. I had done a TED Talk, had done a TEDx Talk, had a book out and a second on the way… College just wasn’t for me!”
- “I was driven by escaping the vicious cycle of normalcy”
- “My mission these days is to establish as many “Meetings Of The Minds” as possible, where you get a diverse group of people to solve a problem and scale a solution’
- “Individuals today have more power than governments, corporations and what the uber wealthy had 25 or 50 years ago”
- “Yes, it was easier for me foundationally. I can’t control that. I can only attempt to be an advocate for those who are disenfranchised and attempt to even the playing field and use my privilege”
- “We still have more work to do. The way to approach this conversation is to see how you can do better if you haven’t been amazing in the past”
- “If that’s a hard road to go down to then maybe don’t think of a “cold email”, for example, as a confidence challenge maybe think about it as a risk-reward ratio”
- “We are seeing a shift away from higher education being the only path”
