Jay Norris has many talents.
He’s helped market the careers of Notorious BIG, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Pink, Toni Braxton, Alicia Keys and others.
He’s an innovative business leader. He knows tech, media, retail and real estate. His latest venture: CEO and co-founder of Guesst Software, the highly regarded prop-tech venture.
Jay brings people together. He builds inclusive communities. In his 8 years in Westport, he’s made a mark here, with service on the boards of the Library and YMCA, and co-founder of Westport 10, the networking and social group for Black men and their families.
His newest project is Content Studio. He helped found the cutting-edge podcast studio, event space, stage and bar on Saugatuck Avenue, across from Dunville’s.
The other day, he rolled out a new podcast: Visionary’s.
He’s bringing guests like ESPN CEO Jimmy Pitaro, Sounder CEO Kal Amin, 1st Selectwoman Jen Tooker (all local residents), Connecticut Department of Economic & Community Development commission and chief innovation officer, and other business leaders, politicians, community activists, tastemakers and investors, to the Content Studio.
Jay asks them all: What defines a visionary? How did you create and unlock your vision? How do you push your goals and dreams forward?
“Everyone has a story,” Jay says. “And everyone has specific trials on their path to success that inspires up-and-coming visionaries to learn, grow and scale.”
Here’s the back story on how the Visionary’s podcast came about:
I am particularly honored that the very first “Visionary’s” podcast guest is … me.
“I flipped the script with Dan,” Jay says. “He tells stories all the time. I wanted to hear about his.”
