Hello our beautiful friends! Today we have a very interesting conversation with Jake Kassan, a young passionate Californian entrepreneur who co-founded a very successful and internationally loved brand – MVMT Watches. Since early age, Jake was passionate about living the life of financial freedom. Today, he tells us his unique entrepreneurial journey and shares his business lessons. Full show notes: https://www.ikonns.com/podcast/62 Jake's father was an entrepreneur – and it made him eager to learn how to make money. At the age of 10, Jake already knew he wanted to be successful and live the life where money couldn't dictate him what he needed to do. That's why Jake started his entrepreneurial journey so young.    “School system is designed not to make you an entrepreneur, but to make you an employee.” – Alex Ikonn   When Jake was 12 years old, he sold the lollipops and made between $300 and $400 in a couple weeks. At the age of 17, Jake launched his first business selling novelty T-shirts that included a microphone and lights, definitely a hit at night-club party scene in California. He then started an e-commerce business, NiteLifeDesigns.com, which he promoted successfully by making YouTube videos. At its peak, Nite Life Designs made $10,000 a week.   Jake dropped out of college when he was 19. Together with Kramer LaPlante, two brimming entrepreneurs launched MVMT Watches in June of 2013 with $300,000 they raised through two Indiegogo crowdfunding campaigns. Soon the Los Angeles-based start-up evolved into a huge success. And Jake did expect that success, because he believed in their product.   “My life philosophy is better to try and explore opportunities than look back and regret” – Jake Kassan   Navigating towards the right way using innovative marketing strategies and data driven thinking, MVMT quickly established itself as a lifestyle watch microbrand with a powerful online presence. Jake and Kramer were able to found a niche by advertising their product heavily on social media.In 2018, Movado Group (also known for selling Lacoste, Tommy Hilfiger and Hugo Boss) purchased the company for $100 million.   Before MVMT Watches launched, Jake was a 21 year old college dropout with more than $20,000 worth of debt to his name from previous business ventures. By achieving intense success he always wanted to achieve, Jake demonstrates –once again– that regardless of age, financials, circumstances, and even regardless of formal education, hard work, determination and strong belief always pays off, as long as you continue the hustle and are able to enjoy the process. Here are some tips to young entrepreneurs starting out right now: Try new things, and even if you fail, you can always learn from that. Before starting your own business, try to find a job or mentors who work in the industry you want to get into. In the early stages, you can find a place to work that you really believe in, where you can feel fulfilled by building something with a team. Talk to people –like CEOs, early employees, entrepreneurs, inspirational leaders– and learn from them. Educate yourself: there is so much information you can find useful. Decide why do you want to become an entrepreneur. Hope you enjoyed this week's episode with Jake, you can find out more about him here:   Jake's Instagram Jake's Website

I'm launching Gorgias' first vlog/podcast, called the Ecomm Swipe File! Each episode is a quick tactical tip that any merchant can implement in their store, about 2-5 minutes long. As a huge fan of podcasts, I don't love when they're super long. There are also a ton of long drawn out webinars that don't have any substance. Or they want to sell you a course on dropshipping. I'm hoping this will turn into a virtual mastermind of sorts, learning from some of the leading ecom brands, partners and agencies. So far we've recorded episodes with Jake Kassan from MVMT, Kara Goldin, CEO and Co-Founder of Hint Water, Eric Bandholz from Beardbrand

Blake Pinsker is the director of brand for Mvmt (formerly known as Mvmt Watches). With a message from one of his childhood friends Jake Kassan, the CEO and co-founder of Mvmt, he began helping out in anyway that he could in 2013. Utilizing social media they grew the business from four guys in an apartment to a thirty-five person team that did approximately 70 million in sales in 2017. Growing up in Valenica, CA he had both an older and younger sister. Although he always leaned more towards the creative activities he dedicated his life to sports such as basketball, football and some baseball. Even when Blake would mess up his parents were very supportive and understanding. With goals of being the GM of the New York Knicks or being a personality on ESPN, you could say he liked to dream big. San Diego State University welcomed him with open arms and within two years Blake found his passion for marketing. Upon graduating and being told there was no money in that industry he jumped into real estate. Just as he was figuring out this career path was not meant for him he began working on Mvmt projects. He was passionate and determined to succeed and within time he would leave his real estate job to chase the dream with his friends. As of today Mvmt surpassed 1 million followers on Instagram, they continue to roll out different products such as bracelets, sunglasses and accessories but most importantly - they continue to reinvest in the brand. In this episode Blake discusses why it’s not about being the best but being the one that wants it more, Mvmt’s tagline Live Life On Your Own Terms, importance of creating an experience that gets people to come back, making every second count, short term speed long term patience, we’re capable of anything and the importance of finding the right people. - You can follow Blake here: Instagram You can check out Mvmt here: Instagram Website   Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) Follow us on Spotify Follow us on Soundcloud Subscribe to iTunes Follow us on Instagram    Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram Twitter
