Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Alex Jones, founder and CVO of Stay Jonesin' LLC, located in Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Stay Jonesin' LLC is a lifestyle brand that aims to inspire people through adventure sports. Our customers are adventure enthusiasts, from cyclists to snowboarders, hikers to overlanders, and anyone in between.
Tell us about yourself
While working for Red Bull North America and KTM Bike Industries, I realized my passion on this earth could lead me to new boundaries yet discovered. I was ready to work on my own brand instead of being a cog in the machine on someone else.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
We passed over 6 million views across social media in 2022. During that time, we gave out a BMX bike, Mountain Bike Park Passes, a Snowboard, and a ton of merchandise! We want to continue to spread love and the brand worldwide.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Sometimes when you go against the status quo, people respond in a negative manner. We vow to put love and faith first to guide us through the storms and into bigger and better adventures.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- KEEP FCKN GOING - If you believe in yourself and your mission, don't give up. It takes time, but you will be fruitful.
- Put Love First - When you act in righteousness and love, you will be led to victory.
- HAVE FUN - If you are not having fun... you shouldn't be doing it in the first place. Just because it is fun does not mean it will be easy.
