Episode 78 - John McMahon - JM Trickshots/Entrepreneur

John McMahon is a seasoned entrepreneur with over a decade of experience building and scaling businesses. Throughout his career, he has started multiple ventures, each one contributing to his understanding of the entrepreneurial landscape. His most notable accomplishment began in 2017 and flourished in 2020 when his social media business quickly expanded during a burst of web traffic brought on by the "work from home" orders that accompanied Covid 19. During his entrepreneurial journey, he began to appreciate the aspects of education he had long neglected and John now plans to complete his Bachelor's degree in Business Management this school year. He has hopes of transitioning his entrepreneurial experience into a successful legal career as John plans to take the Law School Admissions Test this fall. 00:00 Introduction 01:38 John's Entrepreneurial Beginnings  02:17 College Experience Reflections  03:05 Inspiration from Family  03:45 Misguided Entrepreneurial Aspirations 04:21 Flipping Clothes Journey  06:59 Current College Status 07:21 Parental Support for Entrepreneurship  08:25 Shift to Amazon Publishing 14:03 Reality of Entrepreneurship vs. Freedom  15:43 Value of Practical Experience 16:54 Beware of False Teachers 17:52 Attraction to Hard Work  18:41 Transitioning to Entrepreneurship 20:10 Inspiration from Dude Perfect  20:44 First Trick Shot Video  21:29 Striving for Exposure  23:13 Facing Skepticism  24:42 Support from Loved Ones  25:12 Meeting Influencers  27:09 Viral Success on TikTok  31:48 Brand Deal with Pepsi  34:06 Motivation for Content Creation 34:53 Hitting it big with Snapchat! 38:15 Wedding Plans Funded by Earnings 42:01 Shift in Motivation  43:43 Interest in Law School  45:12 Realization of Business Limits  46:48 Marketability from Experience 47:57 The Future of Social Media  50:37 Pursuing Higher Education  52:07 Shifting Passions and Responsibilities 52:57 Goal Setting and Intentions 54:23 The Importance of Mentorship  56:29 Fatherhood Experience  57:15 Faith and Spiritual Journey  1:01:19 Final Thoughts on Consistency and a great Trick Shot!
