We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Justus Hayes. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Justus below.
Justus, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Coming up with the idea is so exciting, but then comes the hard part – executing. Too often the media ignores the execution part and goes from idea to success, skipping over the nitty, gritty details of executing in the early days. We think that’s a disservice both to the entrepreneurs who built something amazing as well as the public who isn’t getting a realistic picture of what it takes to succeed. So, we’d really appreciate if you could open up about your execution story – how did you go from idea to execution?
I went to a charter school for middle school and I have always wanted to be my own boss and I knew I could do it. At my middle school we had to wear uniform and we didn’t get to wear day to day clothes so fashion stood out to me. So I put it right in action to make my company!!
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
