We were so glad to have Jacob at AT&T Stadium to talk to our ticket & suite sales, service, and operations groups. His discussion on failing forward really hit home for our group! Jacob’s incredible story of success is an inspiration! We have had several speakers in over the past several years, and Jacob is one of my favorites.

“RESONATED WITH OUR AUDIENCE ON AN UNPRECEDENTED LEVEL!”
Jacob’s personal story, weaving in insights into the world of failure and success, was truly inspirational. Jacob was able to discuss the value of failure as a stepping stone to success. This message was reassuring to our audience, who are encouraged to experience and share “learning moments” for the benefit of all. Jacob’s ability to connect with the audience, inspire change, and deliver practical wisdom is a testament to his expertise and passion. I wholeheartedly recommend Jacob as a keynote speaker for any event seeking to spark inspiration and growth.
