198. Jaclyn Johnson, Founder of Create & Cultivate, Entrepreneur & Investor

Hurdle

Multi-hyphenate: A person with several professions or skills. In other words, look up the definition of "multi-hyphenate" in the dictionary, and you may just find a photo of episode 198 guest Jaclyn Johnson. Welcome the entrepreneur, investor, best-selling author, and founder to Hurdle! You may know her as the founder of Create and Cultivate, a cult-favorite brand and media company that’s rooted in conversations, resources, events, and community for female millennial entrepreneurs and small business owners. We recently chatted on the heels of the launch of her newest adventure, New Money Ventures, a venture capital firm and brand incubator.

Jaclyn and I get into some of the nitty gritty when it comes to investing lingo, and in telling her story, she offers up a lot of practical career advice for everything from navigating lay-offs and contracting work to making a big pivot. Speaking of pivots, she also sheds some light on what it was like to pivot an experiential marketing brand during the pandemic, and reflects on the concept of work-life balance — AKA, if it can REALLY be achieved. I loved having Jaclyn — such a massively successful strong woman — on the show to dive into the ins and outs of all things business, and now I'm feeling mega-inspired to boss up and get to it!
