John O’Connor

Hi, I’m John O’Connor, president at JSO Digital.

I’m a non-practicing attorney, entrepreneur, and writer with more than 10 years of experience working in media and tech.

Past work

In a former life, I worked as an associate at Alston & Bird in their Global Finance Practice Group, before starting my own plaintiff’s practice at my law firm, The O’Connor Law Firm. I was honored to represent hundreds of property owners in litigation that became the largest mortgage fraud lawsuit in North Carolina state history.

The JSO business model

Since founding JSO Digital in 2012, I’ve worked with over 100 clients on a range of different digital projects.

While JSO Digital still offers consulting services, our focus in recent years has been on building a portfolio of internet businesses, Gene Food, LeafScore, and Streaming Stadium.

Why I work

My most important role in life is as a Dad. I was raised with a “family first” approach, and my family is a large part of what gives meaning to my work. I work hard everyday with my daughter, Sola Eileen, as my inspiration.

Fun fact: I appeared on season 7 of Shark Tank to pitch ‘brellaBox.

No B.S.

I enjoy the process of growing businesses, and pride myself on a straightforward, no B.S. approach.

If you’re interested in discussing the possibility of working together, we are accepting a limited number of new clients in 2022, and we’d love to hear from you.

You can also connect with me on Linkedin, see my writing portfolio at MuckRack, and I’ve recently added a new Twitter profile.
