#17: Gen Z Entrepreneurship and innovation in social media

Join us for this episode as we welcome Junior Makame, the 18-year-old co-founder and CEO of Social Pro. Hear about Junior’s journey to becoming a successful entrepreneur and co-founder of Social Pro in his teens. At just 14, he was a rapper with big ambitions and started his own record label, managing fifty artists and hitting 4 million streams on Spotify after just two years. Then at 16 he founded his music tech startup and now uses his business and marketing experience to run Social Pro. Junior shares why he sees his young age as an advantage, and how he keeps up with the ever-changing trends of social media. He also discusses the future of AI's role in social media, what drives him, and what advice he’d give to other aspiring Gen Z entrepreneurs.
