Optimistic, Personable Millennial Entrepreneur Looking for Growth

[ajmassaro]

Greetings to all!

My name is AJ Massaro, founder and CEO of Positivity, Lifestyle brand Manifest Millennial, where our goal is to sell high quality clothing and merchandise to Millennials experiencing anxiety and depression, encouraging their quest for authentic happiness and support their struggles along the way.

I have been working full-time at a very prestigious University here in the U.S. for two years now and have been growing the brand in my spare time since November of 2015.

We recently signed a lease on a shared office space here in our city and as excited as we are, we are equal bits anxious (go figure!). Happy to grind and do the work itself but with such a versatile set of skills, the next step we take will hopefully be more service based than merely pushing merchandise. We are thinking of a bi-weekly podcast series to get us started for the first year and continue to grow from there.

We do need to revise our business plan, especially incorporating the new officespace (also great movie).

My professional background spans from managing a Recreation Center to Acting, from Health Care to Education, and even Professional Sports Event Management. We are excited for the future and where you will all play a role as mentors, and advisors.

Thanks for the welcome!
