We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Joseph Jefferson. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Joseph below.
Joseph, appreciate you joining us today. Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?
Some of the best projects I’ve been associated with are the weekly podcasts that we created The Tesla Beat is an amazing 4 person roundtable about the facts and some misunderstandings surrounding Tesla
Joseph, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Well as a child we never had much, including a place to stay at times. Being homeless has a way of giving you perspective. If you would have told that homeless boy that he would grow up to be in the business of electric vehicles and building up the community he probably wouldn’t have believed you. That’s why community is such a focus for our club and huge reason for our success. Being without shelter and being able to lean on my community was a great benefit. We try to have fun and make sure that if you need us we are there. Through our contributions with elementary students and various charities we make sure that we put community at the center of our moral compass.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
For me it’s the joy I get when people know that I see them, far too many times we get caught up in the goal and aren’t able to see the difference we’re making through our contributions. I make it a habit to take a beat and not take it for granted what we’re able to do for someone.
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
I had to unlearn “pics or it didn’t happen”, what I mean by that is you can’t do something just because of how it will look to others. You have to do things for you and for your purpose.
The backstory is an old one, I used to think that I needed to publish my good deeds, but in learned that some people value privacy. I can still make a difference even without filming it.
