In episode no. 83 I speak with Co-founder, CEO and General Counsel of Turnsignl, Jazz Hampton. We discuss:

The problem that prompted the creation of TurnSignl and how Jazz and his co-founders knew it was the right time to act;
The professional backgrounds of the three black founders;
What Turnsigl does and how it works to protect civil rights at scale;
How Turnsignl gets to the people who need it (it’s an interesting approach);
The product’s similarity to roadside assistance programs or an insurance policy;
Turnsignl’s partners across different sectors;
Why Jazz describes the users as the ‘3 P’s’;
How to know if Turnsignl is working;
Power imbalances that exist in civil and criminal law contexts;
How Jazz considers Turnsingl provides mental health support;
Turnsignl’s technology resources and funding model;
The difference working in a team when you’re responsible for their salaries;
Whether you should consider your employees as family;
Biggest challenges as a justice entrepreneur especially growing a two-sided marketplace;
Something that justice entrepreneurs shouldn’t be nervous about;
Why you don’t need a non-profit vehicle to make a difference (and why a business model might be more suitable);
Attributes that gave Jazz the confidence to move from practising law to the becoming an entrepreneur;
Insight into his work ethic;
Something unique about the foundation for Turnsignl’s work;
What is ‘moving at the speed of trust’; and
Jazz’s definition of legal innovation!
