Meet Jean-Claude Nasr
Some people wait for opportunity; Jean-Claude Nasr built his own from scratch. Based in the Greater Ottawa Metropolitan Area, Jean-Claude is a dynamic entrepreneur, marketing strategist, best-selling author, and serial entrepreneur. He is also the voice behind The Millionaire’s Podcast. As the CEO of Revelation Marketing, Jean-Claude is known for building high-impact businesses from the ground up, often in the face of overwhelming odds. From early setbacks to multimillion-dollar turnarounds, his story isn’t just about profit margins; it’s about persistence, reinvention, and showing up when most would fold. Jean-Claude’s mission is clear: to help small businesses grow smarter without wasting money on overpriced agencies. Whether scaling small businesses to success or helping owners navigate marketing in uncertain economies, Jean-Claude leads with grit and a relentless drive to deliver real results.
The Early Hustle: From Uber Wheels to Business Deals
Long before the boardrooms and seven-figure wins, Jean-Claude was navigating the streets behind the wheel of an Uber. When he arrived in the West; he had just $500 in his pocket, no safety net, no connections, and no formal business degree. For 11 months, he drove Uber to stay afloat. It wasn’t an easy start, but this work ethic laid the groundwork for what would become a thriving entrepreneurial career.
“Six years ago, I was driving Uber. Today, I run six businesses. The secret? I mastered one skill most business owners ignore: digital marketing.” – Jean-Claude Nasr
At 27, Jean-Claude’s breakthrough came not from luck, but from mastering one key skill, marketing. It was this expertise that helped him secure his first million. Through strategic marketing initiatives, he was able to pivot and scale, leveraging the power of online visibility to help businesses grow. Jean-Claude didn’t wait for opportunities to come to him; he created them. His rise was built on seizing the moment, not through shortcuts, but by investing his time and energy into understanding what made businesses successful in a digital age.
The First Break: From Hustle to Marketing Empire
After spending 11 months driving Uber, Jean-Claude Nasr’s entrepreneurial journey took a pivotal turn when he and his brother launched Juice Dudez. The business quickly gained traction thanks to Jean-Claude’s expertise in marketing. His success in promoting the juice brand attracted attention from other business owners, many of whom started seeking his help with their own marketing strategies. Recognizing an opportunity, Jean-Claude began offering marketing services to these clients, which led him to establish his marketing agency. As his reputation grew, the demand for his services expanded beyond Juice Dudez, and soon, he was fully immersed in building a marketing empire. As Jean-Claude’s marketing expertise continued to thrive, he launched Revelation Studio, a company focused on videography services.
Specializing in weddings, events, and commercials, Revelation Studio quickly became another successful venture. Determined to give back to the entrepreneurial community, Jean-Claude took things a step further. He founded Ottawa Podcast Studio, with a mission to support new and aspiring business owners. Jean-Claude’s goal was simple: offer free mentorship and coaching through the podcast, sharing valuable insights from entrepreneurs’ journeys. His dedication to giving back was fueled by his own struggles early in his career, and he wanted to make sure others had access to the guidance he lacked.
Launching Revelation: Marketing With Meaning
In 2020, Jean-Claude founded Revelation Marketing, a results-driven marketing agency built on clarity, execution, and bold thinking. Jean’s biggest breakthrough wasn’t just realizing that businesses struggle, it was understanding why. Most business owners, he observed, don’t lack great products or services; they lack the marketing strategies to showcase them. That insight became the foundation of Revelation Marketing, his flagship company built on one powerful belief: “You don’t have a bad business, you have a marketing problem.” The agency quickly earned a reputation for bringing tangible results to local entrepreneurs and content creators.
Jean-Claude didn’t stop at just one venture. He envisioned an entire ecosystem to support entrepreneurship from content to coaching, visuals to voice. This vision became the driving force behind the Revelation Empire. In 2024, Jean-Claude launched his coaching program, offering entrepreneurs the tools, insights, and mentorship they need to thrive. The coaching program is an extension of his mission to empower business owners with practical knowledge that deliver real results.
“Most businesses don’t fail because of poor products, they fail because of poor marketing.” — Jean-Claude Nasr

Jean-Claude didn’t stop at Revelation Marketing. What began as a marketing agency quickly evolved into a full-blown entrepreneurial ecosystem.

“You’re one conversation away from a breakthrough. Stop sitting in your office blaming the economy. Get in the room.” – Jean-Claude Nasr
Final Word: Guts Over Glamour
Jean-Claude Nasr’s journey isn’t polished. It’s bold, raw, and built on momentum. His first networking event wasn’t a glitzy conference. It was a stranger’s living room. He showed up with his photographers and introduced himself. That one night is still bringing him clients today.
Nasr doesn’t believe in luck. He believes in showing up. Whether he’s podcasting, teaching, or shaking hands at an event, he leads by doing. For him, business is not just about revenue. It’s about reputation, relationships, and readiness.
