The person behind the business. There’s nothing like unpacking the finer details of someone’s story. I see the threads of details that aren’t common to the naked eye. With Jess’ story, she shares her personal journey of facing a fatal car accident at a young age and the impact it had on her life. Instead of letting the tragedy consume her, Jess found the strength to turn her pain into purpose and use her experience to help others. But that’s not where the story ends. In fact, her journey is unfolding in spectacular ways and she shares with us how she started in public speaking business and why she blew up a very successful business model to align with her values and goals.
