Things You May Not Know About Jack Dorsey

You may know who Jack Dorsey is, or you might have no clue! Jack Dorsey is the co-founder and CEO of Twitter, now you probably know the brand Twitter; it is one of the most popular social media platforms in the world. Twitter is a very powerful brand and there are many active users. One of the biggest issues most social media platforms, including Twitter, are dealing with recently is fake news.

So, have a read on below at some of the most interesting things you may not know about Jack Dorsey:

He Loves Twitter

Not in the “he loves Twitter because it is his business and that’s how he makes his money” kind of way, but in the “he loves Twitter because it has the information he is looking for” kind of way. Lots of us get sucked into Twitter and end up on the social media platform for hours on end, and so too does Jack Dorsey! Also, by him spending so much time on the platform he can pick up on potential issues faster.

He Didn’t Want To Be An Entrepreneur

This is something that Jack Dorsey never really aspired to be when he was growing up. He describes himself as more alternate and punk, he was known to dye his hair different bright colours and also had a nose ring, not something that you would typically associate with someone who is the CEO of a very successful brand. Jack Dorsey also never really wanted to be in the public eye, so this is why being CEO or an entrepreneur never really crossed his mind.

He Doesn’t Have A Dream of Being in Politics

There was one point in time that Jack Dorsey wanted to become the mayor of New York, that boat has since sailed. The reasoning behind this was the years of effort it would take before you could actually make a difference and he also went on to explain that he would probably make a terrible politician.

He Didn’t Finish College

There seems to be a running theme of successful entrepreneurs dropping out of college, and Jack Dorsey is a part of it. He dropped out of New York University in 2000 to pursue his own company in web-based logistics. He joins a highly esteemed list of other successful entrepreneurs that dropped out of college, including Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk and even Bill Gates.

He’s a High Flyer

Jack Dorsey loves to fly planes and if you follow him on social media you are bound to see some photos of him in the cockpit of a plane. He likes smaller planes where he can ride solo, or with one other person. This is known to be one of the ways that Jack Dorsey relaxes.
