Description
On today’s show, Darius interviews JeVon (JT) McCormick, CEO of Scribe Media, who shares with us his thoughts on racial injustice, socio-economic inequality, company culture, and much, much more.
Born a son of a black pimp father and an orphan mother, JeVon was in one of the juvenile systems in his formative years. And early on in his career, he had to overcome racial injustice as he tried to cement his place in corporate America. He talks about his changing his name from JeVon to the more ambiguous, JT before changing it back to JeVon in light of the recent BLM moment.
We also talk about company culture. And how working at a “people-first” software company was an eye-opening experience for JT after his experience in the banking sector.
Because both Darius and JT come from the mortgage world, they also reminisce about the subprime crisis. While banks were blamed for the financial mess, Darius and JT argue that the people (borrowers) were equally responsible.
As a huge proponent of conscious capitalism, Jevon is passionate about creating opportunities for at-risk youth. A board member for Conscious Capitalism and the StartEdUp Foundation, he has mentored young men and women in the juvenile justice system, as well as those in the lower economic communities.
