We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Keith Jackson a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Keith , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. What sort of legacy are you hoping to build. What do you think people will say about you after you are gone, what do you hope to be remembered for?
I hope my legacy will be continuing and ever long lasting. I would say timeless. I’m my mother and fathers legacy, so trying to build from that foundation in my own way. More knowledge and technology at our generations disposal, taking advantage of that with my kids is a plus. Starting businesses outside of the normal 9-5 model. We all have to start somewhere, but investing building outside of a ‘job’ to be more stable in the future. Teaching that to my kids, most of all showing them is a great feeling. Doing things that my parents didn’t show my siblings and myself. Starting businesses in areas where you enjoy doing the work and helping people at the same time. How can you make an impact? Solving a problem or helping usually seem like winners. Leaving a legacy that will be forever taught and remembered in the future.
Keith , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I started this line of clothing because of Adept Clothings impact on helping many of people through work with non profits and other companies. Also, inspiration from my mother. I figured I could surely start a brand to help people in a more direct way doing the right thing. Most clothing and businesses are peoples names. Soon after, Jacksonakeith but only in reverse the brand was in the making. Came up with a few designs and got to work. What’s available are Japanese frequency t-shirts, frequency face masks, and frequency wellness journals. The purpose of the material is to get you in better energy than before you discovered us. If you need your spirits raised, great energy, a safe space, relaxation, zen, we have the space for you. Feel at home while you’re here. Frequencies are constant and contagious, it’s important you get it right. You can pass the good vibes on to other people and continue the process. We promote the motivation, success and well being. Helping people when you can and get great vibes. How will you help the world?
Have you ever had to pivot?
In 2015, working a part-time job that my days were numbered at. I applied 6 months prior at the IRS. One Saturday I come into work only to be let go at the end of the day one of the owners. So I just gathered my things and left. At that point I knew I had to use the skills previously acquired to be in a better position. A couple days later the IRS called for an interview, got the job and went from part time job to full time. That pivot was the change needed, but only because of actions I had taken long before. I had to prepare myself better for the future. Using payroll money to invest in different sectors of the market, crypto currency, real estate, and most of all my own businesses to gather assets making a position improvement in life.
Can you open up about how you funded your business?
Funding the Jacksonakeith brand came from early investments. I did this to allow me to start the business. I used payroll money from wages earned from 2015 when I started at the IRS. I had investment knowledge prior to receiving the job. Money being made at the time wasn’t enough to invest properly so some things have to wait until you are able to do them. Once I was able, the first thing was investing in self. Which in-turn is enabling me the opportunity to share my story with Canvas Rebel.
