Anyone can write a book, right? Sure, but can they write one well, that connects with people and creates a following on Facebook of over 28,000 people? We sat down with Sean Jensen, in his Polu Kai Services office and he shared his incredible story with us. He wrote his book, Sergeant to CEO, to “motivate and inspire people to go further in life and to not quit because of past circumstances.” Yes, he has an awesome business with multiple awards and accolades, but his personal story is what makes him so intriguing. Sean was abandoned into the foster care system at a young age, and eventually found his way when he studied “Life” in the United States Marine Corps. After serving active for 6 years with 2 years in the reserve, at 29 he started a business that would eventually become a leader in the small business federal marketplace. Under his leadership, Polu Kai Services, LLC ended up on Inc Magazine’s Inc 5000 thousand list, followed by three consecutive appearances in Inc Magazine’s 500 list of fastest growing private businesses in the US. He was also listed in Minority Business Entrepreneur Magazines top 50 CEOs. But that’s beside the point. He shares his story of overcoming your past to create your future through his book and speaking engagements throughout the year.

Going Viral Before it was Cool
Kids now are going viral online for their marketing campaigns and storytelling on the web everywhere. YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, Instagram, etc. But before there were so many social media platforms, a message was spread through newspapers, word of mouth, and flyers posted on a telephone pole. When Sharon Wright was a young lady, she found marketing distribution channels through her church, sparking a Yellow Ribbon campaign for Americans taken hostage in Iran. It started with 1 ribbon and 1 church in her Pittsburgh community. Then Sharon spoke about this awareness campaign to more churches, and then thousands of yellow ribbons showed up on trees throughout the area. Fast forward to us sitting in her new Loudoun Clear Marketing office, clearly that skillset stuck. She is using her PR superpowers for good. Example? The story of their Car Seat Checks Public Safety campaign, Saving Loudoun Littles. This lady is saving freaking babies now with her skills! She once even went up to a couple in a parking lot at a Starbucks to tell them their car seat was installed incorrectly and that if they made a couple adjustments, their child would be even safer. If that isn’t an everyday superhero, I don’t know what is. Learn more about Sharon at www.loudounclearmarketing.com
