In today’s episode of the Jake Dunlap Show, Jason Hennessey joins us in an engaging conversation about his journey as an entrepreneur and self-taught SEO expert and the risks he’s taken throughout his very successful career as a businessman. He talks about his childhood, a period that has been the foundation of his core values and strong character, his time in the Air Force and the way he transformed his passion for DJing into a million-dollar company. Later on, his status as a mastermind is again confirmed after he creates two very successful companies, Evanspark Interactive and Hennessey Digital, specialising in SEO and search marketing for the legal industry.

Quotes
“Didn’t really have much, but I grew up in a family that gave me all my core values, love, respect, manners, all the things that kind off build your character in life (...).”
“I always had a hustle as a kid. My mom couldn’t just give me money to buy a video game, I had to hustle, so I was the kid selling Blow Pops and Juicy Fruit out of my backpack.”
“I created a T-shirt that says “ADHD is my superpower”, and it really is, it’s an entrepreneurial superpower, but you don’t know it back then because they’re trying to fit you in to be a good student and to sit here and to listen and to study, (...) and I just knew I had this entrepreneurial DNA in me.”
“You could be either bold or you could be smart and I think I was bolder where I just took the risk and said I’ll just figure it out later, where sometimes people that are too smart don’t take the risk. Some of the best entrepreneurs are bold and the reason why their companies grow is that they surround themselves with smart people.”
