Bio

John Cerasani is an entrepreneur, investor, author, and high-stakes blackjack player known for building wealth by thinking differently than the crowd. After founding and scaling a successful insurance company, John sold the business for millions before the age of 40, allowing him to transition from traditional entrepreneurship into investing, content creation, and building brands around his philosophy of financial independence and unconventional thinking.

John is the creator of the 2000 Percent Raise Raise movement, a mindset that encourages individuals to dramatically elevate their expectations in business, income, and life. His message challenges people to reject the mentality of “Gen Pop” — the average thinking that keeps many individuals stuck in ordinary careers and predictable outcomes. Through his content, speaking, and his book 2000 Percent Raise, John shares the principles that helped him build wealth and live life on his own terms.

Beyond business, John has also built a following through his passion for blackjack, where strategy, discipline, and understanding the rules of the game are essential. His well-known Cerasani Rules approach to blackjack reflects the same philosophy he applies to business: know the system, think strategically, manage risk, and play to win.

The Not Gen Pop brand was created to represent this mindset. It is more than merchandise — it’s a statement for those who refuse to follow the crowd. The apparel and products found here are designed for entrepreneurs, investors, high performers, and anyone who believes in thinking bigger, taking calculated risks, and pursuing a life that stands apart from the average.

Not Gen Pop isn’t just a brand — it’s a mindset.
