Here’s what BJ shared with us during today’s conversation:



  • Where in the world BJ is based currently: Burlington, North Carolina.
  • Favourite European city: Barcelona, Spain. 
  • The best thing to happen in the past 24hours: While having a conversation with an investor, BJ realised that his language and outlook had changed compared to in the past, in comparison to the investor he was talking to who was more stuck in his ways, so it was a nice realisation that he’s progressing in the direction he wants and how far he’s come in the past few years.
  • A mistake BJ would like you to learn from so you don’t have to pay full price for it: Try to have faith in what you are doing and not let your doubt be communicated to your investors or team as it can stop deals from working out.
  • Book Recommendation: Psycho-Cybernetics, by Maxwell Maltz.. and .. You2, by Price Pritchett.
