Jason Saltzman is the Co-Founder of Relief and a well known member of the New York start-up community. Relief is an app that helps people navigate the craziness when dealing with debt. According to Jason, Relief is here to kill your debt.

The statistics about debt in America are staggering:

• Average amount of debt = $6k/person
• Average number of credit cards = 8 credit cards/person
• 1 out of 3 people are behind on credit card payments

Beyond Relief, Jason is one of the best community builders out there. Rolling Stone actually called him a “cruise director,” a hilarious and accurate phrase if you know Jason.

He is also very much on top of his social media game, especially TikTok, which he believes that all businesses should be active on.

During the chat we discussed a lot about the intricacies regarding debt in America, building communities and winning strategies for creators on TikTok.
