With extensive experience in front-end technologies like React, Vue.js, and JavaScript/TypeScript, as well as a strong background in back-end development using Ruby on Rails and Node.js. Throughout my career, I've been deeply involved in all aspects of web development, consistently following agile/Scrum methodologies.

I've given talks on various topics, including UX principles, Nielsen heuristics, pair programming, and pair design.

Jason Binn is an award-winning American publisher and entrepreneur best known as the Founder and CEO of DuJour Media. This luxury lifestyle brand connects influential and affluent audiences through digital, print, and experiential platforms. Under his leadership, he expanded his role as a media innovator, building DuJour into a recognized name in high-end publishing. The brand offers curated content focused on fashion, art, culture, travel, and real estate, reaching national audiences while maintaining local relevance in major U.S. markets.

Jason is also recognized for his dedication to philanthropy. He utilizes his platforms and resources to support numerous charitable causes.

For over 30 years, he has worked within the intersection of media, luxury, and celebrity culture.

Before founding DuJour Media, Binn established Niche Media in 1992, creating publications catering to various cities' interests and lifestyles. His magazines reached a broad audience with titles such as Aspen Peak, Boston Common, Capitol File, Hamptons, Ocean Drive, Gotham, Los Angeles Confidential, Michigan Avenue, Philadelphia Style, and Vegas. These publications helped define the standard for regional luxury publishing and strengthened his standing in the industry.

Through these city-based publications, Jason connected with local audiences, ensuring that each magazine reflected the unique character of its location, including Miami, the Hamptons, and New York City. Niche Media also established a custom publishing division that produced materials for Art Basel Miami Beach, Wynn Las Vegas, and the Short Hills Mall on behalf of the Taubman real estate organization.

Growing Niche Media into a national company and selling it was a significant step in his career. In 2006, he sold Niche Media to Greenspun Media Group while continuing to serve as CEO. In 2007, Greenspun Media Group acquired Ocean Drive Media Group, which he co-owned and founded. He continued to oversee operations and management until his resignation in 2010.

In 2012, Binn founded DuJour Media, which connects high-net-worth audiences through digital platforms, print magazines, and experiential events. DuJour's continued growth is tied to his focus on understanding his audience and delivering stories that reflect culture and trends. His ability to collaborate with leading brands and notable personalities has helped maintain DuJour’s influence.

His work with DuJour has received recognition, including honors at the Webby Awards. His contributions to creating platforms that connect business, entertainment, and philanthropy have also been acknowledged with awards, including the Ernst & Young “Entrepreneur of the Year Award,” Crain’s “40 Under 40,” and recognition from Forbes and the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce.

DuJour recently celebrated its 13th anniversary, reflecting on its enduring role in the luxury media landscape. Last year, Jason and his team hosted an event at The Hard Rock Hotel in New York featuring a cover star. In March 2025, he hosted another event in New York City to celebrate DuJour’s Spring cover with an actress.

Philanthropy remains an essential, integral part of his life and career. Binn has supported causes focused on health, children, and community needs, using his platforms to raise awareness and support for these missions. He also co-founded the Binn Animal Rescue and Sanctuary Charitable Foundation to help animals facing neglect and cruelty.

He was born in Roslyn Harbor, New York, and attended Boston University’s College of Communication. He values spending time with his family and children.

Jason Binn continues to combine his work in media with his dedication to philanthropy, maintaining his commitment to the communities and industries he serves.

Instead of a traditional bio, I asked ChatGPT: "If I were a font, which one would I be?"

The response?

Chris, you’d be Bebas Neue—a bold, confident, slightly unconventional font that still maintains clarity and professionalism. It represents your entrepreneurial mindset, rock-and-roll edge, deep faith, and your ability to balance fun with strategic leadership.
That sums me up well. I don’t fit neatly into a box—I’m an entrepreneur, a musician, a writer, and a teacher. But at my core, I help people innovate, sell, and grow by blending real-world experience with a practical, no-nonsense approach.

Why Hire Me?

Some speakers build their careers by talking about… their speaking careers.
I’m different.

Everything I share comes from real experience—hard-earned lessons from building businesses, making thousands of sales calls, and leading high-growth teams. When I get on stage, I don’t deliver theories. I deliver what works—because I’ve lived it.

Two Numbers That Changed My Life

1. 5,000 Cold Calls
Fresh out of college, I had no marketable skills. My degree in History and Museum Studies wasn’t exactly in high demand. My newlywed wife and I needed to eat, so I decided: I was going to learn how to sell.I took a job selling life insurance. I was terrible. My first-year earnings: $2,163.72. (Yes, I counted the decimals.) I knew I had to do something different, so I focused on mastering cold calling—because most people hated it, which made it valuable. After bouncing between six companies in five years, I finally committed. I took a job at a startup—just me and two other guys working in a bonus room. That year, I made 5,000 cold calls.

2. 9,000 Pitches
Over the years, I’ve pitched AP automation technology 9,000 times. Not because I have a special gift—because I’ve done it repeatedly. Of those 9,000 pitches, 1,200 turned into business. The other 7,800? Most people would call them failures. I call them education.
Here’s my definition of failure: Failure is making the same stupid mistake twice.
