You get Jack Jendo, founder of Brain Digits, and one of the most globally minded conversations in the show's history. In this episode of Undiscovered Entrepreneur: Get Across the Start Line, Jack unpacks why bootstrapping beats fundraising, why unlearning is a skill most entrepreneurs never develop, why failure needs to be called failure before you can learn from it, and why the future of nations depends on what humans choose to do with the most powerful tool ever created. What You'll Learn: Why Jack left a remote work opportunity in 2010 — before remote work existed — to start his first ventureWhat Brain Digits does: AI enablement, VR training, and emerging technology solutions across hospitals, banking, and governmentWhy bootstrapping forces you to learn every step and makes you unbreakable in a crisisWhy getting investor funding can turn a founder into an employee — and how to know when funding is actually rightThe fire analogy that explains AI's dual nature better than any tech policy paperWhy "unlearning" is the most underrated skill in entrepreneurshipWhy you need to admit failure before you can learn from it — not relabel it as "a step"Jack's 10 entrepreneurial power cards: the priority framework he shares with every founder he meetsThe concept of co-opetition — and why competing less and cooperating more grows the whole marketWhy plans are useless but planning is everythingTimestamps: [00:00:00] – Introduction & Welcome[00:01:00] – Jack's Entrepreneur Origin: Not Built for 9-to-5 in 2010[00:02:00] – Starting a Digital Agency When Facebook Was Three Years Old[00:04:00] – What Brain Digits Does: AI, VR & Emerging Technology Across the GCC[00:05:30] – From Delaware to Dubai to Saudi Arabia: How Brain Digits Scaled[00:07:00] – AI as a Tool, Not a Replacement: The Fire Analogy[00:09:00] – PhD Research: The Future of Nations with Emerging Technologies[00:10:00] – AI as a Second Brain — And the Danger of Losing Critical Thinking[00:11:30] – Human Skills in an AI World: What Schools Should Be Teaching[00:12:30] – How to Bootstrap a Business From Zero[00:14:00] – Why the Founders Who Raised Millions Wished They Had Bootstrapped[00:15:30] – The Lebanon Banking Crisis: Why Bootstrapping Made Jack Unbreakable[00:17:00] – When to Get Funding — and Why Early Funding Makes You an Employee[00:19:00] – Job Security Is a Myth: Personal Accountability in Any Economy[00:20:30] – Why Even Employees Should Start a Small Venture Now[00:22:30] – Admit Failure Before You Can Learn From It[00:23:30] – The Skill of Unlearning: Why Your Brain Needs to Delete Old Files[00:25:00] – Zone of Genius: Working Light, Fast & Free[00:27:30] – Jack's One Piece of Advice: Don't Fall in Love With Your Idea[00:29:30] – The 10 Entrepreneurial Power Cards Framework[00:31:30] – Co-opetition: Cooperating to Compete on a Larger Scale[00:33:30] – Jack's Six-Month Goal: Leading the AI Conversation in Government, Education & Health[00:35:00] – How to Find Jack & Brain DigitsConnect with Jack Jendo:

The Just Transition Commission has published a report in which it recommends farmers receiving long-term funding in order to tackle climate change issues and biodiversity loss.Environmental commentator John Gibbons joins Matt on The Last Word.Hit the ‘Play' button on this page to hear the piece.

Today, I want to challenge a belief that many nonprofit leaders have been taught to accept as fact: The better the program, the easier it will be to get grants, donors, and funding. It sounds logical. If the program is effective, impactful, and serving people well, funding should naturally follow. But after nearly 40 years in the nonprofit space, I can tell you that funding decisions are rarely based on the program alone. I've seen organizations with incredible programs struggle to secure funding. And I've seen organizations with average programs receive significant support because they had something else in place.

The Davenport school superintendent wants to build a community center at the site of the abandoned cement plant. Plus, four Monterey County traffic safety projects receive $13 million in funding.

Here are today's three NEW topics on climate tech finance, decision tools, and mindful leadership:

A state program using ankle monitors, designed to protect victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, and other crimes, has proven successful in North Carolina. But confusion about how it'd be funded means it could end soon, with no back-up plan in sight. WRAL's Paul Specht shares why those in the legal field say the program has been called a 'life saver.' 

In this conversation, Dana Flanagan shares her extensive experience in the real estate industry, discussing her journey from sales and marketing to venture capital and funding. She emphasizes the importance of being investor-ready and understanding the complexities of the real estate market, including the challenges of securing funding and the need for transparency. Dana also highlights her networking efforts and the significance of community engagement in driving business success. The discussion concludes with insights on preparing for investment opportunities and the common pitfalls that aspiring investors face.   Professional Real Estate Investors - How we can help you: Investor Fuel Mastermind:  Learn more about the Investor Fuel Mastermind, including 100% deal financing, massive discounts from vendors and sponsors you're already using, our world class community of over 150 members, and SO much more here: http://www.investorfuel.com/apply   Investor Machine Marketing Partnership:  Are you looking for consistent, high quality lead generation?

Greg Downey is the Managing Director of Purim Ventures, a strategic management and venture studio working alongside C-suite executives, physicians, and entrepreneurs. With over 25 years of executive leadership experience, he helps startup, growth, and public companies increase sales and market dominance.  Greg accomplishes this by creating capital formation, launching innovative products, and developing strategic partnerships and initiatives that drive revenue and shareholder value. His efforts have generated over $100 million in sales and contributed to two exits, one acquisition, and an IPO. In this episode… When it comes to securing funding for startups, many entrepreneurs rely on the antiquated method of developing a business plan and presenting it to venture capitalists. Yet many investors don't read business proposals, and most early-stage companies don't qualify for VC funding. So how can you pitch your startup to investors to kickstart growth? As a business growth strategist and mentor, Greg Downey has developed a proprietary process for boosting company valuation and accessing equity and partnerships. An investor's role is to minimize risk and maximize ROI, so you must understand your value. This entails identifying your business' strengths and weaknesses to partner with investors who can complement and offset them. When positioning your company in front of potential investors, establish and resolve operational and financial flaws to increase appeal. It's also critical to recognize the ideal qualities of a partnership to position your business effectively. In today's Growth to Freedom episode, Dan Kuschell hosts Greg Downey, the Managing Director of Purim Ventures, who talks about pitching your business idea to investors for capital. Greg discusses the common mistakes of generating funding, the importance of analyzing investment trends, and how to boost company valuation.

Today, we're tackling a common entrepreneur question: how to fund your business. But remember, funding isn't a magic fix. It's about proving your worth through sales, showing revenue, and creating momentum. Don't just ask for money – show what you're capable of.

Bottom line: results talk louder than plans.
