From High School Side Hustle to Real Business | Rent-A-Tent and The JSR Engine
from New York's Business Podcast · host New York's Business Podcast
At just 20 years old, Jack Reinard is already operating in two very different but connected worlds.He is the founder of Rent-A-Tent, a Long Island tent and party rental company he started as a senior in high school with the goal of doing 15 parties and breaking even. Instead, the company did 140 parties in its first year and has continued to grow into a serious operation serving events across the Island.But Jack’s story doesn’t stop with tents, tables, chairs, and logistics. Through growing Rent-A-Tent, he discovered how powerful Google Ads could be for a small business — and also how difficult they are to manage properly when you’re busy actually running the business.That problem led him to build The JSR Engine, a platform designed to help business owners automate Google Ads management, reduce wasted spend, improve targeting, and find missed opportunities without needing to hire an expensive agency.What makes Jack’s story so interesting is that he is not building theory. He is building from real experience, real problems, real overhead, real payroll, real customers, and real marketing dollars.In this episode, we talk about young entrepreneurship, scaling a service business, the importance of marketing, how AI is changing the way businesses operate, and why having a great product is not enough if nobody knows it exists.Jack’s biggest lesson is one every entrepreneur should hear:You can build the best product or service in the world, but if you do not learn how to market it, it will never reach the people it can help.🎙 Full episode out now with Jack Reinard on New York’s Business Podcast.#TheNewYorkBusinessPodcast #JacobRestituto #JackReinard #RentATent #TheJSREngine #LongIslandBusiness #SmallBusinessOwner #Entrepreneurship #YoungEntrepreneur #BusinessGrowth #GoogleAds #MarketingStrategy #AIForBusiness #ServiceBusiness #LongIslandEntrepreneur
