The First Customer

In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview The Jasmin Alić, Founder of Hey Jay, and also a LinkedIn aficionado.
Jasmin dives deep into his journey, starting with his childhood in war-torn Bosnia. Despite the adversity, Jasmin found solace in American hip-hop, which sparked his love for English and writing. Initially aspiring to be a rapper, Jasmin's career took a turn towards education, where he discovered his passion for writing and teaching. Transitioning from education to freelancing, Jasmin found success on platforms like Upwork, leveraging his writing skills to secure clients. However, it was a pivotal moment with a fortune 500 client that propelled Jasmin to establish Hey Jay. Recognizing his unique value in ideation and strategy, Jasmin rebranded himself from a freelancer to a business, positioning Hey Jay as a consultancy focusing on copywriting and messaging strategy.
Reflecting on his journey, Jasmin emphasizes the importance of building relationships and sharing knowledge, particularly on platforms like LinkedIn. He highlights the power of genuine connections, advising listeners to invest time in networking and supporting others.
