About Our Guest

“Hi, I’m Jake. I teach people how to compete every day with themselves. By winning the day, we win in business and in life.

Through lived experiences as an athlete, entrepreneur and speaker, I’ve battle-tested and mastered the secret to success. To achieving goals and making the impossible, possible. To being great, not just good enough.

From my first ‘sales job’ at 7, going door-to-door selling Christmas cookies, to my initial business selling branded t-shirts in the trunk of my car, and onto today, as a leading keynote speaker and corporate coach, I’ve unlocked what it takes to be a winner.

The life we desire is closer than we think. It’s the small shifts in our daily focus, mentally and practically, that build a winning life.

Through my C.E.D. Model, I help teams, CEOs, athletes and students develop mental toughness, master consistency, and improve day after day.
We all have a gift inside of us, but it takes courage, systems, and a competitive mindset to access it. I’ll show you how, so you’re not sitting on the bench, waiting for life.”
