Jay Acunzo Claimed
Podcast Host, Unthinkable | Author, Speaker, Tinkerer
I host the podcast Unthinkable, write the weekly newsletter Playing Favorites, and develop podcasts and docuseries for mission-driven brands, authors, and entrepreneurs. I'm also a frequent keynote speaker, and the author of the book Break the Wheel. It is my personal, professional mission to help others make work that matters -- to their careers, their companies, and their communities. I see creativity as a form of problem solving and leadership. It's a means of raising your hand to lead and investigate and improve things, and I want to help others frame their work as such. That can help us see the work and the world better and differently. Before becoming a content entrepreneur, I held marketing and media roles at Google, HubSpot, and the VC firm NextView. My biggest ambition and maybe grandest delusion is to be the Anthony Bourdain of business storytelling :)

🚀Founder / CEO at hampr (Techstars '21) 🚀 - on a mission to lighten the mental load
Marketer by trade, entrepreneur by necessity. I founded hampr, an on-demand laundry platform, to aid in my quest to vanquish the mental load carried by families across the country - starting with the most hated chore. Defied all female-founder stats by raising 7 figures to date and surpassed millions in revenue in less than 3 years. I have been described as "politely persistent" and "will literally run through a wall to make things work." At hampr, we have grown to more than 20 team members and scaled into more than 16 states. We are on a mission to lighten the mental load - one load of laundry at a time. In my past life, I founded and ran a profitable digital marketing agency - doubled the team in size. I was previously the Sales and Marketing Manager at the Superdome and New Orleans Arena where we opened two new venues, Champions Square and club XLIV. I oversaw event marketing and developed rental structures and proposals for corporate + convention events. I was once nicknamed "The Ferret" for being able to find a small but annoying numerical discrepancy in a lengthy report. I'm weirdly proud of it.
