"What do you want to be when you grow up?"It's a simple question. But for being so simple, it rarely has a straightforward answer.Maybe that's why we stop asking it so soon.For most of us, the last time we heard the question was when we were kids—or maybe one last time at the end of high school. After all, having arrived at the terminus of our youth, haven't we grown up?For CJ Johnson, that question comes up daily. And the answer keeps changing. At six, he wanted to be Batman. When that didn't pan out, he settled for the entertainment industry. But cameras brought egos and attitudes, and CJ wanted something better. His interests shifted from Hollywood Boulevard to Venice Beach, where LA's competitor to Silicon Valley—the so-called "Silicon Beach"—was separating itself from that area's bohemian past. CJ found himself shifting from entertainer to marketing consultant. But his journey was far from over:"I was having more and more conversations as a consultant, as a marketer, and as an influencer. And I just kept getting asked more and more personal questions. And I realized my purpose: it has nothing to do with me being an actor, or writer, or director, or CEO. It has everything to do with inspiring someone."With 31K followers on Instagram and a total social reach of over 10 million people, it's safe to say that CJ is inspiring more than just someone. And for good reason: his career has seen him co-found one of the top digital agencies in Los Angeles, become the "on-demand marketing guru" of Silicon Beach, and be recognized as both a Google NextGen Policy Lead and GQ Insider. On this week's episode, CJ shares his experience as an entertainer, marketing consultant, and influencer. He explains what it means to "empower emerging generations," how you can monetize your interests, and how to find opportunity in times of crisis. We also chat about:CJ's work at NextGen and GQ.How Technology has fundamentally reshaped entertainment.The pros and cons of there being "Hundreds of Ways."How to keep focused in times of crisis.What it's like balancing the Influencer life with being a single dad.You can find out more about CJ on his site, or reach out to him directly on his Instagram.

Welcome back to On The Grow, I'm Grace Lee. This is the thirty-first episode into the binge-able Transitioning Series. "If someone may not feel like a total right fit, then just explore it and really listen to what's working and what's not. The more you can be honest with yourself and reflect on that, that's going to prepare you to meet somebody great that you can spend the rest of your life with." "What are things that only someone else can give me? What are things that I should be giving myself? The distinction between whether you like the idea of someone or if you like someone is you need to be "full." The fullness is being full within yourself, not another person. If you can figure out that component to yourself, then when you meet somebody, you're not trying to find traits in them that fill the void that you don't have, you're not trying to find someone who makes you feel good when you don't feel good yourself. It starts by working on yourself." In episode 31 of On The Grow, I have a conversation with Rob Gregg, the founder of the shoe brand Rob McAllan, Forbes Under 30 Fellow, GQ Insider, American Express Ambassador, and a recently engaged man. He shares his transition from dating to engagement, his thoughts on what it means to be an influencer, how he met his fiancée, his outlook on dating before finding the one, some of the trials and tribulations of a long-distance relationship, almost proposing during COVID-19, and a really insightful tip for someone who is unsure whether they like someone or like the IDEA of someone.

Resources CJ Johnson The Alchemist by Paul Coelho News Roundup U.S. Supreme Court Rules that police need warrants for cell location data The U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling last week requiring law enforcement to obtain a search warrant for suspects’ cell tower records. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority which also included the Court’s liberal justices Sotomayor, Ginsburg, Breyer, and Kagan.  Roberts wrote ““Modern cellphones are not just another technological convenience … They could just as easily be called cameras, video players, Rolodexes, calendars, tape recorders, libraries, diaries, albums, televisions, maps or newspapers.” The case stems from the conviction of Timothy Carpenter who is serving a 116-year sentence for being the ringleader of armed robberies of Radio Shack stores in and around Detroit. Prosecutors obtained 127 days’-worth of Carpenter’s location data from his carrier to prove his whereabouts when the robberies took place. U.S. Supreme Court rules for state sales tax of out-of-state retailers The U.S. Supreme Court issued another ruling last week—also a 5-4 decision—this time, the Court’s conservatives were joined by liberal justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Interestingly, Chief Justice John Roberts dissented in the opinion—joining the remaining 3 liberal justices. In this case, the Court found that states can require out-of-state retailers like Amazon and Overstock to collect state sales tax. T-Mobile and Sprint file for merger T-Mobile and Sprint filed a 678-page merger application with the Federal Communications Commission last week. The companies argue that the $26 billion merger would accelerate the deployment of 5G and increase competition. The application comes amidst a wave of mergers in the telecommunications and media industries. Disney upped its bid for 21st Century Fox to a whopping $71.3 billion in cash and stock. Disney and Comcast have been locked in a bidding war for Fox’s assets, with Comcast having made a $65 billion all-cash bid for Fox the week before. Apple will now enable 911 location pinpointing Apple last week announced that some 6,300 emergency response centers in the U.S. will now be able to pinpoint where 911 calls are coming from. Some 80% of 911 calls now come from mobile phones but, until now, where the calls were coming from has been difficult for first responders to pinpoint. Experts estimate that some 240 million 911 calls will be made this year. Amazon and Microsoft employees stand up to surveillance deals Finally Employees at Amazon and Microsoft are standing up to their companies’ government contracting deals that they say violate human rights. A group of Amazon workers sent a letter on the company’s internal Wiki urging to Jeff Bezos to stop selling facial recognition technology to local law enforcement. They also want Amazon to stop working, both directly and indirectly, with U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement.   One hundred Microsoft employees sent an open letter to Satya Nadella protesting the $19.4 million contract the company has ICE’s data and artificial intelligence capabilities.

On today’s episode Rob Gregg shares the powerful story behind his company Rob McAllan, a shoe company that is reforming the way businessmen and entrepreneurs dress and present themselves. Rob talks about being a GQ Insider and how fashion and presentation can launch you into the next level of your own personal brand and lifestyle.   Timestamped: [ 2:24 ] Fashion and Presentation. [ 3:25 ] Rob’s Backstory and Roots. [ 6:00 ] Why Shoes? A Daily Need. [ 9:10 ] A Life Worth Building. [ 12:20 ] Rob McAllan Brand: The Legacy Story of Courage. [ 17:10 ] Giving Back: Rob McAllan Man of The Year. [ 20:48 ] For the Community: A Message. [ 23:00 ] Finding Mentorship and Your Community. [ 27:30 ] GQ Insider [ 30:30 ] Vision Moving Forward: Product and Brand. Takeaways: There used to be a time when men and women stood for something, they were willing to fight for something bigger than themselves, they were willing to wait, they were willing to invest, they had the courage to do things that may not seem safe but they knew in their hearts was right thing to do and was going to lead them to a much greater outcome than a similar and safe lifestyle. With the current generation, our heroes aren’t athletes like they used to be, the heroes of today are entrepreneurs and activists and business leaders, people who are willing to take big risks and come out on top. The Rob McAllan brand is built around the legacy of a family and a time when people walked with courage, “I’m a Rob McAllen man, I wake up and I walk with courage.” At the end of the day, people are animals: we are the most visibly popular species on the planet. We have the strongest survival instinct of any other species. We fight for comfortability. But if we allow ourselves with the opportunity to be uncomfortable with no other alternative than to move forward you will be surprised at how creative and innovative you can be. You’re always going to find a way to make it work. Allow yourself the opportunity to step into the unknown. Have courage and surprise yourself with your innovation. Don’t settle for a safe and similar environment. When you find people that have a passion and positive energy it’s taken in such a different manner. That’s been my key to success, surrounding myself with the right people who can share in my success and I can share in their, sharing stories to learn from. Overall our vision is about looking up not down.       Resources: Goal Setting Worksheet. Facebook Community. Rob McAllan Brand.
