Jake was the typical young person on the path to “Business” as his college major, but inside he didn’t know why. This struggle coupled with the common stressful social life of a young person trying to fit in only added to his anxiety and confusion. Sensing that something was wrong with the path his life was on, Jake decided to backpack around the world. The bold decision took him on an epic adventure without a map or money, often uncertain, and to the edge of death. The life lessons learned lit a spark in Jake to return home to share what he learned with his generation. Those lessons include the wisdom that you always have all the opportunities you need to make a difference, and that you can create a life of genuine happiness, big success, and real purpose.
Since returning to Southern California, Jake’s compelling message has been engaging some of the biggest organization’s on Earth to support his mission.
