Jason wants to help us reach our "Wouldn't Go Back" moment.
I’ve seen this happen over and over again — with the small entrepreneurs I meet, and the most successful people in the world — and I’ve studied the patterns. My goal is to help you get there faster.
Here's how I'm doing it:
📖 Entrepreneur magazine, where I’m editor in chief, and share stories of adaptability
🎤 Keynote speaking, which I’d be happy to discuss for your next event
🎧 Build For Tomorrow podcast, a show that debunks the stories we tell ourselves about why change is bad
🎧 Problem Solvers podcast, a show about entrepreneurs who adapt and solve problems in their business
"People don’t need advice. They need *perspective* — and that requires a human touch. Lean into your voice and build their trust."
