How do you grow and monetize a modern media company? Jaclyn Johnson built the blueprint with Create & Cultivate, a media company providing content, community, and curated events for ambitious women. 

I focus on Jaclyn’s experience creating content and community in this interview, and ask her to share the approach she took to create a million-person movement through paid events and free content - and, eventually even a product line at Target. Jaclyn’s story shows how important it is to trust your gut, see the whitespace in your industry, and seize an opportunity with relentless drive and persistence. 

Jaclyn exited her first company before the age of 30, and Create & Cultivate was acquired in 2021 - and she has some lessons to share with us on building a business to eventually sell.
