Today I’m excited to welcome Jared Kleinert to The Quarter Life Comeback podcast.

Jared Kleinert is the co-author of 2 Billion Under 20, a TED speaker and the founder of Kleinert Ventures, a marketing consulting firm helping leaders and companies market, recruit and retain millennials.

Jared was a team member at 15Five and Learnist, and successfully started (and spectacularly failed at) two startups as a teenager. At 17, Forbes named him the “Definition of Social Entrepreneur” and he’s since appeared in Fast Company, TechCrunch, Business Insider and Huffington Post.

Jared’s real power lies in his ability to grow a powerful network, even being called the “most connected millennial in the world”. His new book, 3 Billion Under 30, continues the theme of interviewing the world’s most successful millennials, but this time focuses on more established entrepreneurs.
