John Henry on How to Build a Multi-Million Dollar Company Before You Turn 30
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- John Henry is only 26 but his business story could span three lifetimes. He's the son of Dominican immigrants. He grew up below the poverty line in New York City’s Washington Heights neighborhood. At 18 he worked as a doorman in a luxury building in Brooklyn. While working as a doorman he started a dry cleaning business. Within 3 years his business was making $100,000 a month in revenue. At the age of 21, he sold the business for $1 million and started the first business incubator in Harlem called Cofound Harlem.
After making a name for himself in the city, he was offered a podcast deal, and then a TV deal for his own show on Vice called “Hustle”. He parlayed that into a brand endorsement deal with Cadillac.
After starting Cofound Harlem he decided he wanted to dive into the world of Venture Capital. He joined forces with three other young entrepreneurs and became a partner in Harlem Capital. Harlem Capital Partners is a $25 million Venture Capital firm owned and operated by four men of color under the age of 30.
The fund plans to invest in 1,000 minority and women founders over the next 20 years. All four of the partners are on the most recent Forbes 30 under 30 list.
In EYL #45, John walked us through his incredible journey. He told us the story of his first business, he explained in detail the inner workings of the V.C. world, he explained the steps to set up a Venture Capital fund, he detailed how TV deals are structured and he outlined the current market place for brand partnerships and media opportunities. #Venturecapital #media

When he spoke on how simple business is, being that it's a simple transaction and people get weighed down by their expectations, my mind was blown.
That really spoke to me as well.
ian wardy mindset is key 🔑
Education
I truly felt it as well.
FACTS
This is the last video everyone on here interested in entrepreneurship needs to watch. John really just gave us the roadmap to success
" You have to treat the baby step with as much respect as the end goal". This quote is valuable! I'm surprised, you guys just by pass it.

I like him A LOT
Love this podcast. Without saying it the hosts always remind their guests, "Na, you didnt just come here to sell yourself, market your brand, and refer to usual talking points - you came here to provide our viewers the mechanics, and the real how to." With such great questions, these interviews are as much a cup of coffee with mentors as much it is entertainment, as so much of other podcasts only are.
This dude is an absolute legend. And he did all that in his early 20s! Savage! A major inspiration!
Its crazy you guys put this information out for free. Great podcast man 💯

J.H has been one interesting cat to watch. I'd bet on him on anything he touches
This was another great episode! It was a very high level episode in that you have to really be willing to take chances when being a VC. This dude was spitting jewels so you have to listen closely!
Mentors are 🗝️🗝️🗝️

"Messenger, Message, Audience"
Damn the young legend John Henry lol. And i love what he said. "There's a lot of power in proximity."
EVERYTHING BYJOHN appreciate you tuning in for this one!
Man!!!
Estodo Latino!!!👏✊
The last part where he talks about big company's like Google, Nike, etc throwing huge productions for one night that's very true and is huge in silicon valley, mountain view, san Francisco, San Jose, if you have a production company that can supply ambassadors, production work, etc there's big money coming from the client oh and another company doing that is Verizon And AT&T because of 5G
YES!!! Call them the " Earner's "
This just proves that it really does not matter where you come from or how you look as long as you are passionate about creating you WILL overcome adversities.
Craze Cinema yup
wrong
Great content fellas! #shypr.biz
This bio is amazing!
kee williams 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
He has a great story-
Great show
Ife thank you
So I’m trying to figure out what exactly he sold at 21 , I may be confused lol but was there a physical business with overhead and things ? Because he said that he started as basically a dropper taking things to dry cleaners so did he ever end up opening his own or what happened there ?
He sold access to his customers base, the clients he was providing the dry cleaning service to. I hope that helps. May you live well and prosper
@@janetlsackey thank you so much ! I understand it so much more than I did a year ago after watching more videos like this lol I was very confused beginning entrepreneur and the same blessings back to you 😊
I loved this one!!!! I got some $$ . I will be googling john. Lol .. blessing to all! GREAT SHOW AND GUEST!!!
The margin is important
