Our Story

Jason and Kameron Shadrick moved to Indonesia in early 2018 when Jason took a business consultant position with an international company. While consulting, we began to notice some dangerous business patterns among both Indonesians and Western/Foreign Entrepreneurs. They would work hard to start a company, but then fail. 

The cycle is common – Without business experience, training, or mentorship, many entrepreneurs start a business without a clear plan, strategy or the business tools needed for success. This usually results in serious challenges, frustration and burnout, and why more than 50% of businesses fail within the first 3 years. 

We are also passionate about helping individuals in developing countries acquire the business training, technical skills, and small business loans needed to escape poverty and positively transform their communities. 

Understanding these struggles and wanting to help people break the cycle of business burnout, failure, and poverty, we created the Maju Entrepreneurial Program and Services, and established Maju Global Inc., a U.S. 501c3. Profits from our programs and services are used to support international programs providing business training, skill development and micro-small business loans to purpose-driven entrepreneurs facing the greatest challenges.  

Jason Shadrick

Director / Business Coach

My career started in San Diego as an Art Director, and eventually took me to Idaho where I served as VP of Marketing for a large brand. After several years  I started my own design agency, then in 2018 I moved to Indonesia to work with a consulting company. I have focused primarily on marketing, branding and corporate identity, serving many large and well-known international clients.

I enjoy living in Bali, Indonesia with my family, and I am proud to work with an amazing international team in helping people gain financial independence, empowerment and purpose through the avenue of business.

Kameron Shadrick

Program Developer / Life & Business Coach

Throughout my career I have served as an formal educator, curriculum developer and childbirth educator, in addition to starting and managing several successful personal businesses.

I’ve been involved in humanitarian work for over 20 years, through youth and female mentoring programs, and also in creating an international maternal & infant healthcare program and founding a U.S. NGO serving vulnerable women and infants in Africa.

In addition to entrepreneurship education and small business and life coaching, my overarching passion is helping people discover their life purpose or calling, while realizing work/life balance. Within the field of entrepreneurship, we call this “Purpose Driven Business.” It’s a blessing and joy when people start businesses that not only support their families, but also transform communities!

Instructor

Originally from Ciudad Obregon, Sonora, Mexico, my family and I immigrated to Dallas, Texas when I was 8 years old. I graduated from Texas A&M University with a Bachelor’s degree in Communication and Business followed by a Master’s degree in Human Resource Business Management.

I have had the opportunity to intern with Deloitte in the management consulting field, PepsiCo in the HR field, and various other companies in the education field. I am excited to be joining the team at PepsiCo in New York City!

Being fully bilingual and bicultural, I always seek to use to my business knowledge to make significant impact in communities across different cultures, countries, and languages. This is why I wanted to partner with Maju Global— they empower and equip aspiring business leaders with purpose-driven curriculum. Maju Global is where meaningful work and tangible, long-lasting business results intersect and I have loved getting to be a part of it!

My career path has taken me in many directions, including 5 years in South America working with various NGOs. I have a great love for the international community and have seen firsthand how nationals can flourish no matter where they’re at when given the right tools and the opportunity to succeed.
 
For the last several years, I’ve worked for a national marketing company as a web developer and operations director. We work with many companies across multiple verticals and help them hone their digital presence, look at digital advertising opportunities, and dial in the online user experience as it relates to their website.
