Joining the episode today to discuss how to turn your passion into a scalable business is Guest Expert Joe Jamison, Founder of VisitAble LLC.
Joe found his entrepreneurial purpose rooted in his passion for blazing a better experience for others than he and his family have lived.
Joe’s father is a paraplegic and has used a wheelchair Joe’s entire life. Seeing the stark difference in personal interactions or accessibility based on a lack of disability inclusion or awareness, he is on a mission to change that with disability inclusion training, certification programs and accreditation.
Educate. Advocate. Empower. That’s Joe Jamison. That’s VisitAble.
Michelle and Joe chat about his entrepreneurial journey: what resources and support he needed to supplement his passion to create a scalable business, why continuous customer feedback and iterative development of your product or service creates sustainability, and the power or becoming a thought leader to advocate for your mission.
Key concepts and takeaways:
Passion fuels your soul and your business
Specialization first, then scalability, then sustainability
Customer interaction is key to iterative product development
Make inclusivity not just compliance but a business builder

"They started having us think about big world problems and thinking about what we're actually passionate about. I knew this problem, like, the back of my hand, the problem of accessibility, the world not being accessible for my family and my dad and all of us. And it came down to how do I apply this to the business world in a way that can create a sustainable, scalable business." ~ Joe Jamison
