Jason Morgese is the founder and CEO of Leavemark The first ad-free, data storage and social media hybrid, designed to allow its users to archive life’s most important memories and documents with the ability to share today or in the future. Before creating Leavemark, Jason spent 9 years as the founder and President of eHealthScreenings, a technology centric biometric screening company that became one of the nation’s leading providers. eHealthScreenings provided health screenings to companies as small as 25 employees, to those with more than 150,000 employees. In 2017, his company was acquired by Premise Health and Water Street. At the time of sale, eHealthScreenings retained a national network of over 3,000 Wellness Technicians, 1,700 lab locations and had processed over 10 million tests. With his latest venture, Jason hopes that Leavemark will become the world’s most loved company to preserve and share life’s most important memories through.

Other Quotes From the Chat with Jason Morgese:

- “if I had some additional mentors or additional people that I could consult to get through some of the more challenging issues I think that would have been a big help…entrepreneurs going to have to figure something out. That is just part of being in business. But having the ability to bounce ideas off of somebody or a group of people that have been through a lot of the things that you are about to experience, they can give you advice on certain things would definitely be worthwhile”
- “…work ethic. There is a lot of people who will interview well, who have great backgrounds et cetera but you get them into an environment where a lot of things need to be done and they are just not willing to do what it takes to make it to the next level”
