Who Is #theRASTApreneur

#theRASTApreneur is a positive, righteous, loving individual who has the mindset to build his own business over helping someone's build theirs.  He organizes and operates his own businesses, and embraces the fact that he will take on greater than normal financial risks in order to reach the level of success he plans to reach & sustain.

PJ  #theRASTApreneur is a 40 year old positive spirited, righteous hearted black man, and respected member of the RASTAFARI community. In addition, he's a father of a 22 year old daughter who's also a RASTApreneur in her own right with her own fashion brand "Royalty Only", which consists of custom clothing that she's hand making daily using her sewing machine & selling on apps like Depop, Facebook, and Instagram)  

On his YouTube vlog series "Reasoning with #theRASTApreneur", PJ openly shares his knowledge and experience in the hopes that it will assist anyone who wants to be an entrepreneur in their pursuit of freedom, independence, peace of mind and happiness.

His RASTApreneurial journey started from his childhood as a young black male growing up on the rough streets of Chicago's Westside, and still continues with his current success as a co-founder of Integrity Talent Management Group (ITMG), (a talent management agency that's now R.I.A.A. certified platinum largely due to his digital marketing strategy). In 2014 PJ also launched his own Reggae edutainment network Rastafari JAMS which was once partnered with Bob Marley's son Rohan Marley in 2016.
​
After living in Jamaica for 4 months in 2016 and getting a chance to meet the elder Georgie from Bob Marley's song "No Woman No Cry" (see pic below), he moved to Long Beach, California where he set up the radio station studio locaton and discovered himself to be self proclaimed #theRASTApreneur, inspired by the challenges he has faced in business being a member of the Rastafari community. Including ridicule and judgement for not dressing, looking, talking or, behaving in a "professional" manner according to today's judgmental and non compassionate society/business world that he considers to be Babylon.
