Julian Latty is a Virginia based serial entrepreneur, investor, and mentor to countless aspiring entrepreneurs. He’s self made, and has gone from a challenging upbringing to being one of the most prominent entrepreneurs in all of Virginia. He currently owns and operates an Allstate insurance agency in Virginia Beach with another location planned for Dallas, Texas, owns two food trucks in Virginia Beach, and is currently working on a new CBD venture with a business partner. We sat down with Julian to discuss his journey, all things entrepreneurship, and the reason why he’s so motivated to give back to other entrepreneurs.
His Backstory
Julian has always been an underdog. There was a point in his life where he could hardly make rent for his apartment, and was never sure that his car would start on his way to work. He’s been told time and time again that he wouldn’t be able to find success, and he refers to himself being treated as the “black sheep”.
Julian uses his past as fuel for his future. He knows that the only thing able to slow him down at this point is himself, and he works tirelessly so he can grow into the dominant, intelligent charismatic entrepreneur he still aspires to be even with all of his current success.
Giving Back
When he’s not working on his business ventures or spending time with family and friends, Julian is giving back to the community. During the peak of the pandemic, he used his food trucks to give free meals to nurses and doctors on the front lines. Around the holidays, Julian provides meals and toys to families in need, and has a goal of giving back to his community with resources and education to help start businesses for people interested in entrepreneurship.
Julian always shoots for the stars when he sets goals, and wants to follow in the footsteps of folks like MLK, Malcolm X, and Muhammad Ali in terms of the impact and legacy he hopes to leave behind.
Julian’s parents are in real estate and own land in rural virginia. After speaking with his parents about growing on their property they said, yes. The farm will be known as iCanna Farms, an extension of iCanna Premier CBD. We start should start our first grow in 2022 sometime and grow thc once it legalized in Virginia
His Motivation
Julian works day in and day out to not only further himself and his career, but to be genuine and relate to the person who’s struggling. He wants them to look at him and say, “If he can do it, I can do it too.” Julian knows firsthand that a strong work ethic and positive mindset can be all it takes to emerge into success as an entrepreneur, and he is constantly encouraging others to keep working hard and never give up until they’ve achieved their dreams and then some.
