From Passion Project to New Career with Jake Nackos

//  by 

I’ve never met a man who didn’t have his next million-dollar-idea. Ideas are a dime a dozen. What seems to be missing in the majority of scenarios is ACTION.

My guest today, Jake Nackos, tells us how to find your passion project and, more importantly, what you need to do to turn that next business idea into a career reality.

“It’s not always easy but I got to the point where I needed to sink or swim.” Tweet That— Jake Nackos

Meet Jake Nackos

Jake NackosJake Nackos is the founder and CEO of Arvo watches. Arvo is a minimalist watch brand that was started as a side project in 2013 to learn about small business and provide opportunities to give back to its community. Jake and his wife Ashley now run Arvo full time and have stuck to the core values of doing good.

Jake loves working and the fun challenges of his “Arvo baby”, however his family is a number one priority. As father of a 15 month old rascal, Leo, the real challenge is teaching him to grow up with strong values and goals that will help him to be successful throughout life.
