Today’s show is about an innovative young entrepreneur that was a freeskier, and had a LOT of experience with drones.  Charlie Cannon lived in Utah and had been around drones for many years, because of his hobby of freeskiing.

If you’re like me, tax time as a solopreneur can be really daunting. It’s in our best interest to find the right kind of write-offs to maximize our profit, but it can be VERY arduous and confusing to reconcile our year of eating out, travel, business purchases, etc.  That’s where http://found.com comes in. From her 10+ years at Square, Lauren Myrick had first hand experience as to what solopreneurs really needed out of a bank, so she founded FOUND, which caters to all of the weirdness we need as solo practitioners.  Try Found yourself and get $25 refunded after your first $100 purchase.  Use promo code “SOLO” at registration.

Justin Sloan runs http://sloan-capital.com, an investment firm focused on large real estate deals that can be syndicated to multiple investors, providing a turn-key investment strategy that consistently outperforms wall street.

Pacesetter and innovator are two words that perfectly describe Justin Sloan. Justin is a business-oriented and highly driven entrepreneur who is passionate about investment and asset management. Justin ventured into the world of business at the age of 20 when he took every penny in his bank account and started his first cell phone retail store with himself as the only employee. After months of working every day open to close, the business was able to hire the first employee and eventually grow into a large chain.

His experience in business and exposure to management equipped him with valuable skills in financial management, market analytics, and opportunity arbitrage.

As the cellular stores grew, Justin focused on diversifying his investments mainly into real estate before retiring at the fresh age of 32. After two years of complete boredom, it was time to get back to what Justin does best, helping businesses grow.

Over the past several years, Sloan Capital has began syndicating real estate deals to outside investors and has made sizeable venture investments in more than a dozen companies.Justin is highly knowledgeable in all things business, and his undeniable passion is what sets him apart from the rest. Having built companies from the ground up, he understands the details that go into establishing a successful firm and the resources required to help in scaling it while still maintaining the small things that make it stand out. His hard work, diligence, resourcefulness, and flexibility make Justin the right individual to spot and execute on opportunities.
