"Jacob is an awesome human being first and foremost! He really knows how to connect with the crowd and leave you thinking about how you can implement his ideas and strategies into your daily life. Jacob was our Keynote speaker who started out the day with a major high! His stories were very impactful, so much so, the rest of the speakers that day, during their talks, would refer to Jacobs Keynote, multiple times. He was dynamic and will definitely motivate the crap out of you! He's nothing but awesome! You need to hear him for yourself!"
