Becoming an entrepreneur takes grit. Deciding to do it solo takes courage. This is 1,000 Routes, the podcast where we explore the stories of solopreneurs who have made the bet on themselves to build a business that serves their life. Every episode you'll hear about the lessons they've learned and the uncommon routes they've taken to stand out in a world that is purposefully trying to commoditize them.

#44 The Jay Acunzo Route

Jay Acunzo is a keynote speaker and storytelling coach to business storytellers & experts, helping them compete on the impact of their ideas, not the volume of their marketing.

In this episode, Jay unpacks the reality behind his transition from working at brands like Google, HubSpot, and NextView to going solo. He explains why he didn’t “make the leap,” how he replaced hustle with systems, and how an offhand compliment from a stranger helped him realize the value of his voice. Jay also shares what it means to build a platform of impact, how to tell stories that stick without shouting, and why he believes the best ideas aren’t always the newest—they’re the ones people actually remember.
