Long Shot Leaders with Michael Stein

Jamar Jones is the founder of Forever Media, a leading media and branding agency specializing in personal branding for executives and entrepreneurs. Based in Richmond, Virginia, Jamar grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and attended four different high schools across three states during his formative years. ⁣ With a background influenced by his father’s career in marketing and his own 11-year stint as a hip-hop artist, Jamar transitioned from music to marketing after an injury cut his music career short. ⁣ Driven by a desire for control and resilience, Jamar founded Forever Media nearly a decade ago, initially focusing on video production and evolving into a powerhouse in personal branding. He is also a national keynote speaker and author of Change Your Circle, Change Your Life. Jamar's journey underscores the importance of hard work, persistence, and strategic experimentation in building a successful brand.
