While attending St. Joseph’s University, New York, I had the opportunity to take graduate-level courses as an undergraduate. In my first graduate class, I met people from completely different walks of life; different careers, different journeys, and different stories.

But many of them had one thing in common: they were drained.

Their 9-to-5s consumed their energy. Long commutes stole time from their families. Some felt stuck in careers they no longer enjoyed, and many were back in school because they wanted something different.

As a wide-eyed 20-year-old, that stuck with me.

I realized I didn’t want to spend my life waiting for Friday at 5 PM. I didn’t want to look back years from now and wish I had spent more time with my family or taken a chance on something I believed in.

That realization became part of the reason I started Quarter Past Ten.

Quarter Past Ten is a social media marketing agency built to help founders turn their stories, ideas, and expertise into sustainable social media growth. Because building something of your own is already difficult enough, figuring out how to market it shouldn’t be what holds you back.

Quarter Past Ten is for the founders choosing the path less traveled.

You focus on building something worth believing in. We’ll help make sure people know about it.
