Listen "Flashback Friday Ep 60 - How a Former Banker Turned Attorney Wins Big With Entrepreneurship"
Episode Synopsis
In today’s episode of The Share The Wealth Show, we have Donte Jones and we'll dive into Donte's journey from the banking industry to law school and eventually to entrepreneurship. He'll share his insights on how he discovered his passion for creating a positive impact on the world and how he turned that passion into a successful business.
Donte Jones is a corporate attorney and entrepreneur who was born and raised in East Harlem. He graduated from A. Phillip Randolph High School and earned a degree in Finance from The State University of New York College at New Paltz, where he joined INROADS and Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated. He worked at J.P. Morgan Chase for ten years before earning his Juris Doctor from the University of North Carolina School of Law. Donte is also the CEO of Lyrically Correct, a music trivia card game, and is actively involved in philanthropy.
Donte is extremely proud of establishing the Matthew Jones Scholarship for a Professional Wardrobe given to students at A. Philip Randolph. and co-founded C.O.O.L Kids NYC, a non-profit organization that cultivates socially conscious leaders in the next generation. Donte believes that it is his duty to take the knowledge and experience he has gained and use it to help better the lives of the children in his community.
When Donte is not functioning as a lawyer or business owner, he enjoys spending time with his amazing wife, Tiffany (who is also from Harlem), and his children Morgan and Donte Jr. who are affectionately known as MJ and Deuce.
So sit back, relax, and join me in this conversation with Donte Jones, as we explore how he turned his passion into a thriving business, and the lessons he's learned along the way.
