AJ Lawrence, Maverick1000 Member #184 – Brooklyn, New York

“I built my firm up from just an idea and a lot of phone calls made with a partially broken cell phone!“

Welcome AJ! What businesses do you operate?

I own the JAR group, which is a digital marketing agency that works with midsize companies to help them understand their customers digital actions in order to take advantage of their space.

Why did you become a member of Maverick1000 and why are you a good fit for the group?

I built my firm up from just an idea and a lot of phone calls made with a partially broken cell phone. I would like to find like minded folk who have created businesses with their own hands and enjoy doing it.

What top things would you like to gain / learn / do with other Mavericks, and what unique value do you bring to the group?

Do something pretty crazy with liked minded entrepreneurs (You’re in the right place…),  find more ways to give back and learn how to complete my world domination plans….

Super Hero Skills: While I find it hard at times to do it for myself, I have an uncanny ability to problem solve for others’ business needs. I can leap through logic structures, invert the box and turn un-associated leaps of concepts into harmonic integration.

What interests, activities or hobbies do you enjoy?

Rugby, cocktails, food, reading, working out, football!
