Jay always felt that he was destined for storytelling. At a very young age, he was drawn to the force of ideas—the potential a single idea held to change perceptions, drive action, and even revolutionize entire sectors.
It was not just an ephemeral interest; it turned into his mission. Crewtangle LLP came into existence through that constant urge—a thinking company where ideas aren't merely hatched but developed into something exceptional, something that makes its mark and puts a dent in the universe. But creating something of substance is never simple.
Like most business owners, Jay anticipated the greatest challenge to be finding clients. Rather, he soon discovered that retaining the right individuals—the individuals who breathe and live creativity—was the actual fight. The key wasn't simply paying competitive wages or benefits but building a work culture where individuals felt creative and motivated each day.
"Businesses don't grow when people are just working." He states they flourish when individuals feel they belong, musing about the culture he and his co-founders have created at Crewtangle. He is convinced that success is not having all the right answers—it's being curious enough to learn and create continuously. Complacency, he advises, is the nemesis of greatness. He has witnessed how a business can stagnate if it ceases to evolve, which is why he surrounds himself with thinkers, innovators, and mentors who continually challenge him to push beyond his comfort zone.
No one creates a legacy in solitude. "No great brand is created alone," he adds, highlighting the strength of partnerships. Well-thought alliances and collaborations can turn good ideas into movements that change the world. Financial education is a cornerstone that all aspiring entrepreneurs should lay early in their journey. Understanding money—its creation, investment, and management—can be the difference between a fleeting idea and a thriving venture. Also, money is not the only leverage. Jay didn't just rely on funding to kickstart Crewtangle; he leveraged knowledge, relationships, and strategic planning to lay a robust foundation.
The creative industry is unlike any other. It's created by dreamers, driven by risk-takers, and sustained by those who dare not play it safe. For him, every campaign, every story, every project is an opportunity to create something that matters. As a creatively established person himself, he shares, Be brave. Test boundaries. Stay curious. Because at the end of the day, success isn't about reaching the destination—it's about being brave enough to take the trip.
