GREETINGS!
My name is Jeremy Gutsche, and I'm the fun-loving rebel who founded TrendHunter.com. I like to describe myself as contagiously enthusiastic, relentlessly creative and socially engaging. My friends would describe me as hyperactive, short attention spanned and easily distracted. (Mom, this is my attempt at humor.)
A cowboy entrepreneur at heart, I grew up riding dirt bikes and ski racing just outside Calgary, Alberta, home of the Wild West and the legendary Calgary Stampede. I'm the son of a psychotherapist and a venture capitalist; the younger brother of an energetic art historian. Perhaps I ended up somewhere in the middle of the three, as I really like new ventures, meeting new people and artistic creativity.
Like many adventurous souls, I always wanted to be an entrepreneur, but I didn't know what my big idea was going to be. Accordingly, I founded TrendHunter.com as a place where people could exchange business ideas. Along the way, I hoped to find my own.
I've always been obsessed with graphic design, problem solving, and the discovery of new things, which made Trend Hunter my perfect hobby. In the early days, I'd design and code Trend Hunter until 4am while working during the day as a business director at Capital One. Today, I design and code Trend Hunter until 4am because I like it. I'm truly content that pouring my heart into Trend Hunter has resulted in a role where my job and hobby are the same thing.
I'm most in the zone when performing keynotes on stage. I fear that many presenters are skilled academics or managers who lack the entertainment fuel needed to spark a rebellion. I like to think of my performances as a mixture of stand-up comedy, audience interaction, big ideas and talking in a really loud voice. I love multimedia presentations and I draw my own animated stick men. Always.
It wouldn't be able to describe myself without reflecting on the people that surround me. Aside from my family, the first people I think about are my good friends who form the Trend Hunter core team. When an entrepreneur selects their first teammates, they pick people who can share the same passion and inspire the best in each other with complementary skills. Accordingly, our first five full-timers possess qualities that I would hope people also see in me: I am inspired by Bianca's undying positivity, Jacob's obsession with analytics, Marissa's contagious enthusiasm, Willem's ongoing quest to improve, and Shelby's ability to pepper our content to make our delicious trends damn tasty.
I love meeting Trend Hunters, so if we ever rendezvous, feel free to intrigue me with your random ideas, social media tidbits, favorite YouTube videos, quotes from "30 Rock" or tales of rebellious innovation.
Cheers,
Jeremy
