Seventh Shot Success For Entrepreneur
Jason Pappas, 39, is co-founder/CEO of EntreQuest, a Baltimore-based sales consulting company. He grew up in North Baltimore, went to Gilman School, Yale University and the University of Maryland School of Law.
However, Pappas decided he wasn’t a lawyer but rather a “serial entrepreneur.” In his own quest to create a successful business, Pappas tried his hand at real estate investment, property management, owning a driving range and starting a golf apparel company, among other things. EntreQuest was “one-for-seven.”
Q: What made No. 7 work?
A: Honestly? A phenomenal partner. [Joe Mechlinski] is 10 years younger than I am. … We’re very similar from a core standpoint, but our tactical strengths are different. He’s much more detail-oriented compared to me. The other thing is – we know how to fight really well. … [We] never make it personal.
Q: You describe yourself as a “serial entrepreneur.” What do you think it is about you that drives you that direction?
A: It’s clearly a control issue. I need to control. I’m totally comfortable with the uncertainty and the risk. But, I’ve gotta be the one holding the dice.
