What Daniel Jones Learned About Making a Living from Passion
“So my very first video that I made played in front of 800 women.” When the videographer missed his mother’s women’s conference, Daniel Jones went from assisting to making the recap himself. The church gave him the job. On Detroit is Different, the East Warren-raised DJ and media entrepreneur traces that moment back to a family that had been finding its own way in Detroit since 1940, when his grandfather, a sharecropper from Greenwood, Mississippi, came north looking for opportunity. His father, a pastor who had worked at General Motors, urged him to figure out how to create income before following him into the plant. “I want to allow what I’m monetizing to affect the earth,” Jones says. From making music for youth church to learning how to catch a moment that only happens once at a wedding, Jones shares how he learned to make a living with a camera and what he’s putting into a book for young people figuring out what they can build with what they already know.
