What’s your story?
Ksaveras Jancauskas: I immigrated to the U.S. in 2014. I come from Lithuania, which is a poor country. I wanted to become a professional tennis player, hence, I started playing for Oglethorpe University. As I had to pay for my university by myself I started my first business, selling on Amazon.
As soon as my school found out that I was doing business I had to choose business or school because of my Visa restrictions. I ended up dropping out of my school and continuing my entrepreneurial journey. Soon after getting my Amazon store shut down I started my Instagram agency. Social media has made it possible to build an audience from scratch and make an impact on the world. I didn’t start my business to make a lot of money — I just wanted to provide a good life for my family. My proudest moment was when I was able to use the profits to buy something for my parents for the first time.

What’s your secret to success?
Ksaveras Jancauskas: I would say the biggest secret to my success is a mindset and being a good person. I always try to improve my mindset by reading a lot of books about self-improvement.
