Jay Sadiq — Founder

It all started when I was just eight years old, cleaning my neighbors' cars to fund my tree house and obsession with Pokémon. As a teenager, I coded websites, some are still up and running today. At the age of 17, I began my career as a full-time salesman, hitting the road to sell classified ads for $5. It wasn't long before I embarked on my first startup venture at just 22 years old. I have started three companies so far and I've been fortunate to achieve some notable milestones along the way. In 2015, Entrepreneur Magazine recognized me as the youngest Executive Director in the Middle East, and just last year, Forbes featured me in a dedicated article. When it comes to my work, I'm not afraid to be a little unconventional. Some might even say I'm a bit crazy, but that's okay with me. I thrive on competition and routine, and my mornings are sacred to me. I surround myself with people I trust and respect, and I always aim to live each day to the fullest. And if you ask me about my day, my response is always the same: "I am having the best day of my life." Whether I'm given a stage or just a minute to speak, I love sharing my passion and vision for solving problems. My best friends always say "no" to me, CrossFitters are my favorite people, competition is my addiction, and while I may have joined LinkedIn with the intention of promoting FortyGuard, I'm excited to connect with like-minded individuals and continue to learn and grow in my entrepreneurial journey.
