A writer, a builder, a traveler, a storyteller.
Decades of building, traveling, raising children and asking better questions, gathered in one place.
I’ve lived a few lives.

I’ve made money. Lost money. Built businesses. Closed businesses. Raised children. Navigated relationships. Questioned things I once believed. Traveled across the world. Walked through history.
And I’ve learned that some of life’s most important lessons usually arrive after somebody should have taught them to you.
This platform is about those lessons.
Jay Cameron is the founder and CEO of Maximum Impact Travel and Enterprises, a company built around journeys through Africa, the Caribbean, South America, Europe and destinations across the African Diaspora.
He has traveled to more than 55 countries, including more than 25 in Africa, and holds citizenship in Sierra Leone and Ghana. That experience shapes everything else he does: the documentaries, the books, the productions and the way he teaches.
He is an award winning author, a playwright and producer, a documentary filmmaker, a broadcaster and an international keynote speaker. He works across travel, money, family, history, identity and education, and the through line is always the same: go and see for yourself, then tell the truth about what you found.
He is based in Washington, DC.

Stay curious.
New places, new stories, new ideas worth trying. Short notes from the road, and the occasional thing that will make you rethink what you thought you knew.
