Regular musings on lessons learned at the intersection of being an entrepreneur and a father.

First OF ALL

Entrepreneurship

I was an entrepreneur before anything else. It all began in elementary school when I was selling some beaded necklaces to teachers and then got called to the principal's office for it. Since then, whether it's t-shirts, tacos, test prep or tech trends (crypto/artificial intelligence), I've had a wide range of boots-on-the-ground experience with building a business.

Fatherhood

From managing priorities and communication styles to adapting to changes in the market, I didn't realize how much entrepreneurship would inform my being a father, and how being a father would inform me being an entrepreneur.

let's not forget

Student

I contemplated putting Teacher instead of student. This site/newsletter is about me sharing what I have learned. But I'm much more of a student than anything else. I remain curious, for better or worse.

About Jared Loftus

I am an entrepreneur, father, and student of both, and I'm based in New Orleans. I started by sending a bi-weekly newsletter, and that turned into this site to keep all of my thoughts in one place. If nothing else, it will be a place my kids can visit one day for reminders about the life lessons I've already told them.
