Introduction to The Edge Newsletter
A Place for People Like You to Get Ahead
A Little About Me
Hi, I am Tavian Jean-Pierre, the founder of this newsletter. I have spent over 2 years writing on Medium in thought leadership, economics and have dabbled in philosophy. I have grown to a following of over 2000 and have recently completed my MSc in entrepreneurship management and innovation.
With my new skills, I want to build a stronger community through my writing. Hence my move to Substack, but also the creation of this newsletter.
1. Why this, why now
With difficult challenges in the economy and a new rising generation in the workforce, the world is counting on drastic change to happen over a brief period. Sustainability being one of the biggest challenges leading to significant advancements in technology.
However, these changes that need to be advanced are not absent of global political struggles and more uncertainty in the markets. The easiest thing to do would be to ignore it all and just get on with your own life as best as you can. However, I think now, more than ever, the world needs people committed to being the change.
The Edge is all about giving young professionals the tools to get ahead in their personal lives and careers to make a difference with their money and time. I believe a difference can be made when enough people focus on the right areas to make the world a better place for all.
2. The community I am hoping to build
Put simply, I want to create a community of changemakers. People who want to be the difference in the world through creating, investing and working in the companies that will change the world for the better. To do this, I am looking for:
Individuals with an entrepreneurial spirit
People that want to create an impact (in their careers, investments, or own startups)
People who want to be the change
Curious individuals always looking for the next opportunity
If any of these sound like you, I would appreciate it if I could get your help on this journey. Subscribe now and reach out to me on LinkedIn, I am always up for a chat!
