Jules Aknin is a French born serial entrepreneur now living in Perth, Western Australia for the past 10+. years. He left school at 16 years of age working at his dad's restaurant and putting on monthly nightlife promotion events. He travelled to Australia at 18 and in a short time found himself selling hotdogs to hungry patrons leaving bars late at night. He grew this business into 4 hotdog stands and two stores before receiving a harsh but important lesson, "the numbers don't lie".
Jules never say die attitude and willingness to confront reality propelled him to new heights as he righted his sinking ship before moving away from hotdogs and coffee into assisting international students with their visas. The past 3 years he has grown True Blue Studies to sell over $5,000,000 worth of courses in the past 12 months alone.
Jules continues to build his vision of entrepreneurial greatness as he is scheduled to open an investment fund 'Avangard' later this year built off the back of 20+ years of research utilising machine learning and artificial intelligence to study large datasets.
I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and I hope you do to.
