Jeff Allen Left a Family of Doctors for Film School and Built Two Exit

Episode 110 of the Lightspeed Investing Podcast is live, and this one hit close to home. My guest is Jeff Allen, a fellow KU Jayhawk who comes from a long line of doctors, was fully on the pre-med path, and then took a wild turn into Hollywood and USC film school. From there he went on to help build and sell businesses, including a streaming platform that Hallmark bought and a nutraceutical brand called True Niagen, and today he runs a marketing agency and business incubator while teaching himself stock options and trading. We talked about the leap of faith that comes with leaving a "safe" career, how the creative and scientific sides of the brain can work together, and the what-if questions we all think about from time to time. Jeff is one of the most versatile people I've had on the show, and his story is a good reminder that your first plan doesn't have to be your final one. If you want to connect with Jeff, he asked listeners to find him on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/in/jeff-allen-did-it/. Go say hi and tell him I sent you.
