Jessica O. Matthews has covered every part of the side hustle sphere. She is the Founder & CEO of Uncharted Power, an award-winning, full-service power and data infrastructure company. At the age of 19, Jessica invented the SOCCKET ball, an energy generating soccer ball that provides off-grid power for the developing world. At the age of 22, she founded Uncharted Power (previously Uncharted Play), a global full-service power technology company that builds, owns, and operates renewable power infrastructure. Growing up, Jessica loved the idea of tinkering, science and invention. That, paired with seeing her family in Nigeria affected by not having access to reliable, cost-effective power inspired her to do something about it and make an impact, even if it wasn’t linear. After side hustling for five years before running her business full time, Jessica shows that you don’t have to have the roadmap before you start.  Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Soundcloud, and Stitcher.  This episode is brought to you by: Skillshare Get two free months of Premium Membership at skillshare.com/sidehustlepro.

Jessica Matthews is the founder and CEO at Uncharted Play, the hardware technology firm that’s providing off-grid power for the developing world. She was invited by President Barack Obama to the White House, and currently serves as an Ambassador of Entrepreneurship for Nigeria, and also received praise from Bill Clinton. She’s among Fortune’s Most Promising Women Entrepreneurs, Forbes 30 under 30 list, Black Enterprise’s Innovator of the Year, Oprah Supersoul 100, and Scientist of the Year by the Harvard Foundation.    I met Jessica in New York earlier this year, and she’s as much a rockstar in person as she is on her resume.

Hear 28-year old superstar Jessica O. Matthews discuss how she invented the SOCCKET soccer ball and founded and grew Uncharted Play (www.UnchartedPlay.com), a renewable energy company. Jessica has received countless awards and was recently named to Oprah's inaugural SuperSoul 100 list.

Jessica O. Matthews is one of the most decorated guests we have had on the #VFApodcast. Her accolades include Fortune’s Most Promising Women Entrepreneurs (2015), Forbes 30 under 30 list (2014), Black Enterprise’s Innovator of the Year (2013), and Scientist of the Year by the Harvard Foundation (2012). Jessica is the daughter of an entrepreneur and was always tinkering as a child - she even has the scars to prove it! While getting her undergraduate degree at Harvard University, Jessica enrolled in a class that eventually led to her idea for the SOCCKET a portable, power generating soccer ball designed to promote physical activity and spread awareness about the global energy problem. Designing and manufacturing the SOCCKET wasn't easy and Jessica candidly shares the ups and downs of a messy kickstarter campaign and all that she learned about manufacturing, supply chains, and customer service. Download this weeks episode to hear more about Jessica's journey and how President Clinton motivated her to quit her day job to pursue Uncharted Play full time.
