Guest Rahkeem Morris is the cofounder and CEO of SYRG, a service for employers to hire former workers for shifts and projects on-demand. Morris’ long-term vision for SYRG is to empower a flexible, liquid, universal workforce of hourly workers where any person can work for any place at any time. Morris took an unusual journey into entrepreneurship and has unique gig economy experience having dropped out of high school at 14 years old to help support his family, working 13 jobs over nine years. He then journeyed into academia and tech. He graduated magna cum laude from Cornell University, worked at GE and Google, and then went on to earn his MBA from Harvard Business School. Morris cofounded SYRG to help people like his mom, a single parent with a shifting nursing schedule, to more easily secure relevant short-term gigs.
