Hunter Marlowe, of Marlowe Guitar, gets a little stir crazy when he isn’t getting the opportunity to express his creative nature. That is why entrepreneurship was a natural fit for him professionally. Hunter was exposed to being an entrepreneur through his father’s vending machine business. Which he says taught him a lot of positive lessons around hustle. Because of that exposure, Hunter began his own entrepreneurial journey in his youth using his musical talents to play gigs. Like many entrepreneurs, Hunter’s first real startup came out of solving his own pain point. While playing solo gigs, Hunter was always looking for ways to add new sounds to the music his playing. For example, adding a tambourine sound to back up his guitar licks. While many musicians his electronic foot pedals, Hunter wanted something more. That is why he created the Jambourine, which is a tambourine that fits into the hole of an acoustic guitar and can be played in unison while you are strumming away on the guitar strings. The Jambourine even won Hunter his startup seed money by coming in first an Middle Tennessee State University pitch competition. In this interview, Hunter opens up about the ups and downs that come with being an entrepreneur. For example, of six original co-founders, Hunter is the only surviving member. He also talks about the impact that learning new skills, such as digital marketing, has planned in his professional evolution. To learn more about Marlowe Guitar head here.
