“There wasn’t even one time while Jacob was speaking that he was not interesting to listen to or where he lost our attention as an audience. He conveyed the message to get involved on and off campus and the importance of that by relating it to real life.”
— Rebecca, Freshman
“Usually when I listen to speakers, I’m half asleep, not learning anything and just waiting for them to wrap it up. That all changed when Jacob started talking. His presence demands the room’s attention. This was actually one of the first presentations I’ve gotten something useful out of. Thank you Jacob!!”
— Luke, Freshman
“Jacob is hilarious. He knew how to keep us engaged in what he was talking about. It’s obvious that he really does care about students and their lives. He was able to explain things to us that I didn’t even know was possible! I’m happy that I don’t have to decide right now what I want to do - that made me feel a lot less stressed about my life and future. I hope more schools bring him in to speak to their students!”
— Emily, Freshman
“As a speaker - Jacob. Is. AMAZING! He related to us as students, and the examples and stories he told opened my eyes to how much truly has to be done NOW in order to prepare for the rest of my life.”

— Alyssa, Sophomore
“Jacob is a very passionate speaker. He WANTS to help students, and that shows in how he speaks. Hearing him speak about his experience and what he’s been through made me realize I have to get my life on track. Jacob opened up my eyes to see that I really need to get out there. Other students should hear his message!”
— Umara, Freshman
“If there could only be one speaker who actually cares about the students they are speaking to, it would be Jacob. Normally, you get the feeling that with speakers, it’s just a job to them. But, with Jacob, he actually cares and he makes you feel like he is there for you - as if he is there to see you rather for you to see him.”
— Eric, Freshman
“Jacob is a GREAT speaker and he’s very good at bringing your attention in and getting you to think deeply about what you want to do with your life.”
— Hailey, Freshman
“Even though it was early and he said that he hadn’t had his coffee yet, Jacob stood in front of us with more energy than half the audience put together. He knew what he wanted to say, he was well informed, and he taught with a smile. He made the presentation interesting and I came out of this knowing much more than I did when I arrived. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you bring Jacob in to speak to your students!”
— Jessica, Freshman
“Jacob really made me think about what I want to do with my life and how I can change other’s lives. His stories outlined the steps that successful students take. He made me think deeper about how I want to change the world.”
