Dr. Jason Penry | Founder | Penry Advisors – One Question Leadership Podcast

@1QLeadership Question: Can the processes learned throughout your career lay the foundation for entrepreneurial pursuits?

Dr. Jason Penry, Founder of Penry Advisors, spent years working in fundraising in college athletics and on campus in general. Not long ago, he decided to start a business based on the concepts he learned during his career raising money. 

• “involvement precedes investment, almost always”
• relationships work across all industries
• doing things for the greater good makes it easier to put in the time
• never promise something you can’t deliver

Before branching out on his own, Penry used the same concepts to help start a medical school in the state of Arkansas. He also notes that the pace of athletics fundraising is far more urgent, in terms of immediate use, than academic fundraising. – One Question Leadership Podcast – Tai M. Brown
