entrepreneurs show I’m Yvette Adams today we’re talking to another exceptional young businessperson this time from my home country New Zealand so Jonny O’Donnell is gonna tell us all about running a business from a remote location but he’s had a pretty incredible business journey apart from just doing a business in a remote location so welcome Johnny thank you great to be here yeah absolutely even a last-minute flight change and we got to have you on the show so very happy about that so Johnny you started your entrepreneurial journey very young you actually dropped out of school yeah tell me more about that well I guess my entrepreneurial journey can be traced right back to selling lemonade’s on the Main Street like probably many kids like lemonade stands upon the beats in a great place called Mata Luca and setup eliminate stand near which was a whole lot of fun and then had my first kind of experience here with it that didn’t work out when it rolled round to winter and so I diversified into pinecones okay very good some good lessons in there yeah a bit fast falling away but I when I when I was in high school the education system I really struggled with so not through lack of academic ability or thirst for learning and growth but really just that education system the regiment of the system didn’t really suit me and so when I was 16 I left school with the releasing of senior management and my teachers can we just stop there how did you get the blessing and like what led up to that what what were you doing that made you go I’ll be fine if I just leave school now yeah I think the main catalyst for me is that I’ve been involved in a lot of voluntary and community work which was a really rich learning experience and I guess what I found is that I was going into these new environments and learning how to run organizations and how I was learning a lot about leadership and speaking and budgeting and all these kind of things and then going back into the school environment just feeling like I wasn’t getting the same level of learning progressed algebra lesson I felt like a lot of the content was irrelevant and a lot of my time in school was wasted and I had a real thirst for learning and you know leaving school was the best thing I ever did it was a really scary experience and wasn’t something I took lightly something I consult a lot of people about first and got their backing because that was really important to me but I still remember the kind of pinnacle moment when I walked out the school gates and I thought to myself you really got it now that’s right and my learning is now my responsibility mmm in school you’re told what to learn how to learn and you you rely what you’re learn early on your teachers guidance I’m around what you’ll learn and so there’s a comfort in there and the scenes that you you expect from the school system there by the time you finish you’ll be prepared for the workforce you’ll be prepared for the career of your dreams and when I left school the only thing that changed wasn’t how much I was learning how fast I was progressing it was just that that learning was now my responsibility I had to be self driven and self motivated because if I didn’t teach myself things if I didn’t put myself in environments where I could learn Lots then I won’t learn so where did you go and learn or what did you do yeah well I catch them – and this glorious thing called the Internet okay which was super useful but what I learned the most from is just practical applications I was involved in a whole lot of community projects at the time I started my own not-for-profit organization called Students Against Violence everywhere and we were a youth lead you through an organization that come out of having a bad event oh yeah it kinda came out of actually just my my environment and school so I was part of the funner class at school and what we what I witnessed there was a lot of my friends and peers having trouble with family violence at home and from a personal perspective I just found it really hard to understand how I could support and help them and so I set out on a journey a really simple question of what what should someone in this situation when you’re aware of something going on what should you do and so I got in touch with local agencies and from there kind of snowballed to realizing I wasn’t the only one with this question and these agencies there was a gap between young people not having this information and not feeling empowered to support their peers and also these organizations are not been feeling like they can get through to the end reach young people saw this gap and that was probably my first experience of what I would describe that bridging the generational divide which has been a huge part of my work and no matter what vehicle I’m using if you like okay so you got involved in there built some skills leadership skills and everything did you go and get a job at some point to get some income coming in yes one of the quick harsh lessons of leaving a school is that there’s this thing called money and you have to you know it’s not the most important thing but it’s right up there with breathing yeah and so you know I was still living a mater at that stage and what I what I’d worked out through the campaigns were running the not-for-profits I was involved and as there by mistake I was involved in sales and marketing but we were just applying it to community campaigns and so I went and moved to Wellington the coolest little capital in the world loved Wellington the big smoke for all those small towns and yes the big spoke to me the in in solutely and so I moved to Wellington when I was 17 and I went around him and got a sales and marketing job for an online marketing company the longest-standing online marketing company in New Zealand actually yeah right so when we say long standing how long haven’t there been in the game they’d been operated about 15 20 years which is a really long time for an Internet company yeah the original domain registrar in New Zealand so we had a portfolio of thousands of small New Zealand businesses small and medium easy land businesses and we were working with him on their online presence which was a really rich experience can I even ask the Exile a really similar journey I left school I didn’t go to university and I’m really lucky someone took a chance on me and hired me did you feel like they took a chance on you and that you were lucky to get the job or how did you know what would you say to young people that want to get that first break this job totally I was really lucky to get you know that I was going up to Wellington that was a real I had no qualifications I dropped out of school I back to myself I was confident but I didn’t I didn’t have the necessary experience and qualifications to get into the jobs that I wanted to and so I was really lucky that someone took a chance I mean I remember sitting in the interview and them saying you know we your age you you’re obviously very young but we won’t hold that against you and I remember saying things no please do hold it against me like it’s super relevant I I’ve just left school I’m 17 coming into work in an environment people have been working for you for 10-15 years like please hold my age against me by all means but also don’t ignore my strengths and what I and the positives that I can bring in the strengths that’ll create from from my age and having a fresh perspective as well so what was the role you got hired for was it senior or was it you know junior senior but I progressed pretty quickly in that company because their company was going through a lot of change at the time and so we were brought on as part of like a wave of new young people into the business basically so the businesses obviously been around for a while they were operating in a rapidly changing environment and a really dynamic industry as you know and they basically employed a number of under third is to reinvigorate and revitalize the organization so I was a part of that wave so it was a really fortunate opportunity that’s what the company was looking to do anyway okay but it taught me a lot as well so I know you’re into intergenerational differences and things and if they are hiring this big wave of young people on meth what did that do to the organization yeah it was really interesting because you can understand the logic behind what they were doing you’re talking about technology you’re talking about how marketing has changed and naturally they thought the best investors for that were young people from Generation Y and of course there’s a lot of truth in that but the organization to that point involved a lot of baby boomers who were long serving staff memebers equity and they held a huge amount of institutional knowledge they knew the clients intimately they knew the systems they knew the straightforward they knew the industry they had seen net change they’d witness that change and I guess and while the the recruiting of young people into the organization was a positive thing at the same time they also got rid of what they call a lot of Deadwood which is a term that I feel super uncomfortable talking about right and Thank You les it’s really callous yeah and that was the strategy and we and to be completely honest as the young people going into that organization we were super confident and arrogant if you like and we thought the world revolved around us and we quickly realize me of me it’s been a bit of time learning off the people who had been there that there was a huge amount of value in that institutional knowledge and that was demand that the best environment dear was well we could work together and collaborate and you remember I’d come from a background there where we’d run a youth lead organization so I’d kind of become really interested in the idea of youth leadership and youth voice and and there’s still a lot of value on that but I guess what I realized there is it doesn’t necessarily work in isolation part of the community it can’t be a token effort to just get people and that’ll change all your business problems I don’t know why we’ve become obsessed with it has to be one way or another hmm I think environments where you thrive the most as where we’re working across generations where this is something to learn and something to give as well I’m really passionate about the concept of reverse mentoring we’ve all got strings to bring to the table and that best applied and most effective in organizations when we work together and what about even the environment there because I did some things that kind of make young people feel welcome and like it was their place right yeah yeah and I wonder how many workplaces have experienced this you know basically that when when they lift us to our own devices and in the sense that they moved on a lot of staff and taken a new wave of young people and they mean we’ve got to change our culture with we’ve got to a debt to young people and their strategy for doing that was they brought
