Faces of Black Excellence

Meet Christon ‘The Truth’ Jones, business guru and award-winning motivational speaker at age 15

Christon ‘The Truth’ Jones is a CEO, Day Trader, Investor, Award-Winning Certified Les Brown Speaker, International Best Selling Author, Honor Roll Student, and more at just age 15.

According to his website, thetruthjones.com, the young go-getter uses his own experiences to show that regardless of where you start or what your personal challenges may be, anything is possible if you are willing to set goals, have a plan, and take action.

In an interview with Issuu.com, The Truth said, “I don’t have the greatest accomplishment because I can always become better. However, what people consider my greatest accomplishment is probably my whole image or basically my mission that I’m currently on.”

Speaking to Canvas Rebel, Jones shared that he hopes to create a long-lasting Legacy that will etch him on the minds of many in generations to come. One in which he changes the lives of millions of families for the better, as well as his own.

The Truth is a certified Les Brown Speaker and has spoken on three different continents, sharing platforms with top motivational speakers. The 15-year-old entrepreneur said he was inspired to be an international speaker when he first saw Les Brown at a Let’s Get Motivated Seminar at age 9.

Jones admitted that being an international speaker at such a young age, “I had days where I would almost pass out trying to walk after coming back from flights every month, taking 9-10- hour flights at least 2-3 times a month at 10-years-old, going back and forth between countries.”

At age 13, he was already teaching class sizes of almost 1000+ on how to trade options, covered calls, and purchase stocks through his company ‘Return on Investment LLC.’ Jones has been investing for 4 years, and teaching others to make wealth is his passion.

He was bullied on the Football field when he was seven; this turned his dream of playing football into a nightmare, causing him to be depressed and hopeless. He was also benched by his coach, who labeled him as a player who did not have anything to offer the team. This spurred Jones to write his first book, ‘The Win Within’ at age 8, to deal with and teach others valuable life lessons about bullying in youth sports. He sold over 500 books in less than 90 days.

Despite his huge success at a young age, Jones still enjoys riding his bike, playing football, working out, and playing Madden, and Fight Night.

Christon The Truth Jones says he sees himself 100% financially set in 5 years, as well as earning 7 or 6-figure incomes, and a 100,000+ passive income. He envisions himself in the future as fit, happy, and on his way to a D1 college.
