Written by me JR Robinson
Today, I want to share something deeply personal—something that started as a note for my therapist but is now the heart of my mission and my story. It’s about that moment when everything in your life has been quietly pushing you toward your purpose, your dream, your championship.
For me, that moment feels connected to a little boy named Jerome—me—growing up in Orange Mound, Memphis. A stubborn kid who, even after a rough day at school, dreamed big in his head. He imagined himself one day telling that rude teacher, that doubter: “I’m going somewhere you never imagined.” That little boy believed he could own the school, change the game, and make a real impact. He is the heart of my upcoming book, From Orange Mound to the Super Bowl, a journey that I now share with the world.
This is where the #getAMPLIFIED Challenge comes in. Our ambition is bold: to offer 360,000 free myCARD digital business cards to businesses, nonprofits, and organizations ready to start or amplify their journey. For those choosing to take it further, 36,000 #getAMPLIFIED Perk Packs await those who upgrade to myCARD PRO—offering powerful tools to reach more people and grow smarter. Plus, there are 6,000 JustMy Service Grants, valued up to $14,000 each, to support selected businesses and nonprofits who need a boost.
But this challenge isn’t only about tools or technology. It’s about something bigger.
I believe in journeys. Not the kind measured only by sales or numbers, but the kind that narrate the heart and soul of who we are and what we dream. This is for anyone who has ever looked at their circumstances—the lemons life handed them—and decided to make lemonade. To build something better despite the setbacks, the doubts, and the noise.
JustMy and its digital tools are here to help your business or organization reach your goals by amplifying what you do and connecting your message to more hearts and minds. But this challenge? It’s about building a life on your terms. It’s about imagining where you want to go, why you want to get there, and the impact your journey will have on you, your loved ones, and your community.
The story of Little Jerome—the fearless kid with a dream bigger than his circumstances—is the soul of this campaign and my forthcoming book. He represents every person who’s ever been told “no,” or made to feel smaller than they are. He’s the reason I’m taking this journey public, inviting others along.
Because the Super Bowl commercials I watched as a kid weren’t just ads—they were symbols of achievement, of having a voice that reaches far beyond your neighborhood. I dreamed of that stage, not for fame or fortune, but as a declaration that I had made an impact. That dream still drives me today.
So, what’s your journey? What will you amplify? What dream are you nurturing that just needs the right platform, the right tools, and a little courage to push it forward?
Join the #getAMPLIFIED Challenge and find your path. Let JustMy help you amplify your story, connect with your audience, and take the next steps toward your own "Here to Greatness."
This is more than a campaign or a challenge. It’s a movement—an invitation to rise, to create, and to inspire.
From Little Jerome’s dream in Orange Mound, to the Super Bowl stage, to wherever your journey begins—start your story today.
Let’s #grabmyCARD, let’s #getAMPLIFIED, and let’s make greatness happen—together.
