An Extraordinary Career
Jack is a successful businessman, best selling author, and athlete. He has been the CEO, President or Chief operating officer for some of America’s most recognizable entrepreneurs, including Steve Wynn, Steve Case, Merv Griffin and Donald Trump. To say that he has worked with some of the best and some of the worst leaders would be an understatement.
Speaking Topics
Business Leadership:
Working With the Best and the Worst; a comparison of styles Merv Griffin, Steve Wynn, Steve Case and Donald Trump.
Have No Fear; Success can come at an early age, and with limited experience.
Experience Transfers; How I went from running casinos, to running a hospital.
When the Worst Happens: How to cope after losing best friends and partners in an accident, and how to pick up the pieces after a failed partnership. It’s not always easy!
Being Donald Trumps President! Need I say more!
Athletics:
The Original “Just Do It” Guy! Lost after high school and college athletics, I simply decided to challenge my body and my mind.
Marathons, Ultra marathons, to Ironman, all while balancing a career and family. From running across the Sahara, to racing bicycles, the goal was simply to test the limits.
Love of Mountains and Horses: Childhood dreams come true, climbing the world’s greatest peaks to competing as a cowboy on the biggest stage.
My story:
Childhood trauma survivor, losing parents, living in a dysfunctional alcoholic family system. When life tries to break you, something bigger takes over. This too shall pass!
