If you can’t legislate, innovate with Jazz Hampton

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!
