Welcome back to CEO School, listeners! This week, we’re thrilled to be joined by the phenomenal Jaclyn Johnson, the powerhouse founder of Create and Cultivate and co-founder of the groundbreaking app, Cherub.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into Jaclyn’s entrepreneurial journey—from her early days creating a pivotal platform for female entrepreneurs to capturing attention with high-profile events featuring the likes of Kim Kardashian. We’ll discuss the art of attracting celebrities to events without the hefty price tag, and the undeniable value of in-person connections in a digital age.

We also delve into the importance of having an exit strategy, as Jaclyn shares insight from exiting two businesses, and both Suneera and Jaclyn reflect on the necessity of building enterprise value.

Stay tuned as Jaclyn reveals the inner workings of Cherub, how her app is revolutionizing the founder-funder connection, and why deploying over a million dollars into BIPOC and women-owned businesses is just the beginning.
