CHRISTON "TRUTH" JONES
YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS Christon "Truth" Jones –
"TEEN STOCK PRODIGY" IS THE TRUTH WHEN IT COMES TO MONEY MOVES ARTHIA NIXON
A
t eight-years-old, Christon ‘The Truth’ Jones battled depression after being bullied by football teammates and a coach who told his mother he was a bench player. His mother encouraged him to write his feelings and within a year, he authored an international bestseller ‘The Win Within’, selling well over 500 copies within weeks. He also had the last laugh when he ended up as MVP on an All-American youth football team. At age ten, Truth became a certified Les Brown motivational speaker empowering men and boys across the country. It was also around this time he began observing his mother’s investment in the stock market. She took up a course in day trading and put him in the class as well. Now at 13-years-old, Truth has a stock portfolio the Wolf of Wall Street would envy, evidenced by him hitting six figures during the COVID-19 pandemic through his company, Return On Investment, LLC. His tips and strategies from Amazon to Tesla stocks have even those with Ph.D.’s signing up for his multi thousand-dollar coaching classes and raking in hundreds of thousands. In July 2020, Truth was still a well-kept secret with just 4,000 followers on Instagram. But since being featured on multiple shows, offering a course on Juneteenth to reach the Black community and a story on him earning the equivalent of six million Nigerian dollars in just three days spreading across Africa, he has garnered an organic international following of nearly 100,000 in a matter of days. Now, there are considerations for him to create an online course for a middle school curriculum. He’s also known as being the founder of the Truth Playmakers Awards, a program that salutes young Black excellence. The Truth has honored chefs, inventors, influencers, entertainers, scholars, athletes, kidprenuers and more. 8 | ENTREPRENEUR PLATFORM MAGAZINE | SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2020
CHRISTON "TRUTH" JONES
“He’s just a kid with a big vision,” says his mother Janel Jones. “The thing is when a child comes to a parent with a big idea, so many just want them to remain kids and don’t cultivate it. Christon went from following some things I was doing, learned how to do it a whole lot better and at a very young age, he realized it was better to own a stock than to own the product, especially in the long term. He then wanted to share that knowledge with others, especially the Black community after he understood the systemic oppression that resulted in why there is little generational wealth in the community.” And it’s hard to believe but his biggest fan is also his closest business partner - his younger sister Bailey. She helps him with his online store and even got into hosting the red carpet for the 2019 Truth Playmakers Awards in Atlanta. Janel admits that being a military mom, her children have moved around a bit. However, she ensured that wherever they moved, they were given opportunities to see historical sites and further, to WWW.ENTREPRENEURPLATFORMMAGAZINE.COM
have an appreciation for their Black history and community building. “We focus too much on wearing Nike styles for example instead of owning the stock behind the brand we support so much,” says Truth. “It’s not that hard to understand that you earn a portion when something sells rather than lose when you are just purchasing. You also can apply common sense strategies to buying. For instance, around Christmas and Thanksgiving, a lot of people buy video games for gifts. So the one tip I give is to buy low in September but sell high in November.” Truth wants people to see beyond the traditional ‘get a job’ narrative and to focus on other ways to generate income such as the stocks.

OTIS CURTIS
P OPE My name is Otis Curtis Pope aka Ghost, I was born and raised in the Bronx, NY. Growing up in the Bronx where Hip Hop was created made me have a passion for music. As I watched the Pioneers and DJ’s and Party Promoters bring the community together with music made me realized I wanted to be a Party Promoter, and Music Producer. Being a Promoter makes me happy, I enjoy helping people build great memories, and creating successful events. As I learned so much about the music business by working with three web series, and also featured in two magazines called Scrilla Gurillaz and Grinderzz. I have worked on eight independent albums, and I am currently working on my ninth. My goal is to be the biggest Party Promoter in New York City, and hopefully branch out to New Jersey and Connecticut. I know the only way to do this is to work hard and continue to groom myself to work with the Legends of HIP Hop, whom paved the way for us.

NASEED GIFTED
P.B.Soldier Synopsis P.B.Soldier (produced by PBS Media) is a science fiction adventure that follows covert operative Nat Cummings, a skilled computer hacker using his skills to help pay for college tuition when his activities are discovered and he becomes listed as an International Terror Threat - code red. The newly formed government/paramilitary organization called The Establishment, gives him a simple choice, either work with them to become a highly-trained assassin or be terminated. Cummings, a sniper class operative, now not only specializes in hacking, but hand-to-hand combat and stealth, as well. Nat is exceptional at his job, until the day he meets Jazen, a mark who knows more about him and “The E” than he does and is confronted with the stunning realization that his work might not be for the greater good. Now he’s on a quest to learn the truth while coding an elaborate program to divest himself from The Establishment before becoming its next target. P.B.Soldier’s premise is The Bourne Identity meets V for Vendetta as Cummings becomes a doubleagent of sorts trying to bring down a system from the inside without letting those he cares about fall into harms way. The storyline is based in and around fictional Renaissance City and spreads to various locations throughout the world.
