kansas city's global entrepreneurship week

Kickstarter was also very important because Sock 101 was one of Kansas City’s first companies, if not the first, to raise over 30k on a campaign and it helped us continue to grow our brand and presence both locally and nationally. People were saying “awesome socks…for an affordable price. People were attracted to Sock 101 at that very early time because of the relationships myself and my fellow co-founders had built in Kansas City and in the entrepreneur world, but even more importantly because we weren’t another tech or app company presenting our idea. At the time we had a few initial designs and had just gotten a very simple website up. When Sock 101 presented at 1 Million Cups in November of 2012 during Global Entrepreneurship Week, I believe it was one of the first times it was held in the bigger conference room space at the Kauffman Foundation. How Did Platforms Like 1 Million Cups and Kickstarter Help Launch Sock 101? I am very excited about continuing to build the partnerships and relationships on the consulting side while also continuing to work with some great media outlets and grow the Grill Nation Show and my other writing and television contributing work on a local and national level.

Now I’m able to continue to grow my own personal media and public affairs brand, as well doing some great consulting work with some incredible people. It began to take off and through my involvement in Kansas City entrepreneurship, business and civic community several people asked to consult with their own media relations, public affairs, pr and government/public policy issues. JGrill Media started with the intent to focus on just my own media work which included writing both locally and nationally, television work and building a radio show. How Do You Balance Your Personal Media With Consulting Arrangements?
