I met Charod Jones in what has become my favorite way to meet my favorite people- a random local charity function. As he was standing around watching a charity lip sync competition, I could tell that he wasn't just the most stylishly dressed guy in the room, but a well-respected member of his community of Mobile, Alabama... so I walked, introduced myself, and sparked up a relationship that I believe will last for many years.
Charod is an engineer, investor, musician, CEO of the Idea Factory LLC, community leader, and activist in Mobile, AL.
We talked about:
1. Embracing the journey of Entrepreneurship
2. Stock Market Investing
3. His upcoming music project, Legacy
4. The art of perspective
Lessons I took away from the conversation:
1. Know your market. No matter what position/job you have, be knowledgeable in the areas you want to grow.
2. Everything is an investment. Evaluate your time and relationships the way you evaluate your financial invstments.
3. The time to invest is now. The pandemic will end soon enough, but the opportunity will fade forever. When people sell, you buy.
4. People focus too much on getting mainstream than being creative.

This that's a genius email address? Me too, but I didn't come up with it. It was the idea of my good friend, and super talented web designer, Nathan Ruff.
