Yeah. So from Indianapolis, Indiana. Grew up in a suburb called New Palestine, Indiana, 30 minutes east of downtown. Grew up. My mom worked three jobs, kept me in a good school. Dad was incarcerated for 12 years. Got out, found out quickly. He was a street pharmacist. That's how he broke it down to me. Street pharmacist. That's a new lingo right there. That's what white people call it.
DJ 2:23
Yeah, that's right. I like that. I never knew my dad. I didn't know what to call him. They call him gone. Yeah, he was just gone. He was a street illusionist. David Blaine almost.
Devin Johnson 2:38
Sweet pharmacist. Yeah, so mom and dad never married. Got to see two different sides of the aisle. You know, hardworking mom to barely put food on the table. And my dad that had money come so fast, he didn't know what to do with it. Ultimately, it was his demise. You know, overdosed and got caught up in the crazy. So growing up, I knew I wanted the money, the lifestyle, didn't know how. So I got into entrepreneurship. I started by flipping sneakers. So I resold Nikes, Jordans, Yeezys. I got my start on a scooter and I would do Craigslist deals back in the day. So Craigslist was like Facebook marketplace for back before. Is Craigslist still around? It is, but it's scary. It's scary. counters like hey i saw you at the grocery store it's scary what it is now i've i've went on there just just curious what it is nowadays but uh yeah just hustled my way uh up to getting my first car and then i was doing sneaker trade shows and and then after high school graduated um and got into digital marketing because sneakers It was my first adversity.
Devin Johnson 3:46
So everything used to release in stores that was exclusive, but then it went to apps only. So Nike would release their shoes on their app, et cetera, et cetera. Every brand. Like a GOAT and stuff like that. Yeah. GOAT is actually a reseller platform. So those are authorized resellers or guys like me or you that have exclusive shoes that want to sell, but they verify them to make sure you're buying real shoes. but um yeah once that happened it was very hard to get inventory and everyone knows in business no inventory no sales right so that was my first real adversity i got into digital marketing had three failed businesses and then my first success was a company called connected um it was a linkedin recruiting automation platform for corporations ranging from small to enterprise.
Devin Johnson 4:36
We grew that business to a couple hundred employees, had a sale event in October of 2023. And we took some of the framework that we originally were building into Connected and wrapped it into what we call Sales AI Now. We were in the early days of AI with the previous product, so it wasn't new to us.
