About this Event
Everybody's talking about the hustle. But what happens when the hustle isn't enough?
Join Billboard-charting jazz keyboardist, entrepreneur, lifestyle brand creator and entertainment law professor Marcus Johnson for a speaking engagement at UMBC's Alex. Brown Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation, part of the Raymond V. Haysbert, Sr. Entrepreneurship Lecture Series.
This is a talk, not a concert. Marcus shares the real blueprint behind a career built across music, law, lifestyle branding and business, and the DEEPER framework at its core: Dream, Engage, Environment, Plan, Execute and Reflect.
What you'll walk away with:
- How to build a business, and a life, around your purpose
- How music and entrepreneurship feed each other
- How to use AI to multiply your productivity, protect your time and show up like the big boy
- Practical tools you can apply immediately, on your own terms
For students, creatives, founders and anyone building something of their own.
