The rise of the cultural alchemist

  • Connecting people to opportunity

Description

Growing up on the Southside of Chicago, Jason Mayden often wondered if he would find a way to navigate society’s ills. As a Black intellectually curious child, his method of engaging the world gave birth to a new class of curious leaders, the cultural alchemist. They can be defined as the ultimate multi-hyphenate creative. Cultural alchemists are driven by genuine interactions, exchanges of ideas, collective aspirations, and access to experiences that lead to meaningful opportunities. They are not just looking for a job, they are looking for a mission and a purpose. They are the champions of the future.

Today, there are no ifs, Mayden is making the world a better place and making history while he does it. In this conversation, listen, learn, and dive into the world as Jason Mayden – the cultural alchemist, CEO and founder of Trillicon Valley, President of Fear Of God Athletics, and formerly CEO and Co-Founder of Super Heroic, and Senior Global Design Director for the Jordan Brand – sees it.
