Jonathan Irwin’s entrepreneurial spirit is rooted in a family legacy of small business ownership, with early influences working for his grandparents, Carroll & Phyllis Ouellette, founders of Carroll's Body Shop and uncle, Mike Ouellette, owner of Carroll's Paving. Carroll’s now a third generation business run by his three cousins Kris, Nick and Zach Denis. This environment nurtured Jonathan's entrepreneurial drive from a young age, teaching him the values of hard work, family business, problem solving and the importance of community in business.
Jonathan's entrepreneurial journey is marked by the founding of several businesses, each reflecting his passion for leveraging technology to enhance business operations and marketing. He started Wireless Technology Solutions, a company partnered with Verizon, which played a pivotal role in New England with thousands of VoIP phone installations completed across 22 states. This venture laid the groundwork for what would become Whizkid Technology Solutions through a strategic merger, further expanding Jonathan's impact in the tech and business world.
When the uncertainty of COVID-19 struck, Jonathan embarked on a transformative journey spending much time at Grant Cardone's Headquarters under his mentorship. This period marked a pivot in his approach to business, embracing Cardone's growth strategies and this mentorship played a crucial role in shaping his future ventures.
In a significant family endeavor, Jonathan supported his stepson, Parker Redlevske, in launching Techy. Parker at 13 went viral on Grant Cardone's stage where Techy Company's owner, Tim Phelps reached out wanting to help get him started. Jonathan and Amy started homeschooling Parker, enabling him to focus on launching the Techy store. With Jonathan's guidance, Parker navigated the intricacies of entrepreneurship, leading to the store's remarkable success. Just two years after opening, their Techy store, co-owned by Parker, Jonathan, and their business partner Nick Rancourt, has been recognized as the #1 Techy franchise.
Further evolving his portfolio, Jonathan launched GO1, an All-In-One Marketing platform designed to simplify and amplify digital marketing efforts for businesses. Jonathan having experienced the frustration in marketing with the many elements and costs searched for a better way leading to him launching GO1. Amy quickly saw the benefit and started introducing businesses she works with to the platform. Jonathan's partnership with his wife, Amy Irwin, owner of No Negatives Photography, led to the creation of Irwin Media. This venture combines their talents to offer comprehensive digital marketing services, including content creation, video editing, social media posting, website, SEO, PPC, and social media management. Irwin Media stands as a testament to Jonathan and Amy's dedication to supporting businesses through innovative digital marketing strategies.
Jonathan's journey is not just a tale of business success; it's a story of family and community. His work reflects a commitment to pushing the boundaries of what's possible, empowering other businesses to thrive in a digital age, and fostering a new generation of entrepreneurs within his family and beyond.
